Hogs, water buffalo, goats, and poultry, as butchered and cured in China a century ago. Carl Levine documents the food animals, selection for slaughter, and curing methods observed at first hand, a rare technical record of Chinese meat craft written for Western readers. Agricultural reporting from far outside the usual cookbook world. Study a butchery tradition most books never mention.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
