I have a few of Ruhlman's books (and read his blog sometimes) and like his writing and point of view re cooking. I haven't used it because charcuterie scares me, but http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charcuterie-Craft-Salting-Smoking-Curing/dp/0393240053/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 is what my friend read before embarking on this project himself.
That looks fantastic, think I'll order a copy now... I just wanna know the basics, the dos and the don'ts, best ways to avoid killing your nearest and dearest, etc... :)
I am pretty sure that the answer to this is to feed your guests a spoonful of saltpeter before the meal.
