From Scratch with Michael Ruhlman

From Home: Brian Polcyn

Chef and cookbook author Brian Polcyn has been practicing and teaching butchery and Charcuterie for decades. In our new bonus “From Home" series, Michael checks in with chefs and food personalities to bring you short audio glimpses of how they’re cooking during lock-down, which pantry items they’re utilizing, and what they’re looking forward to after life returns to normal. We'll be publishing dispatches from this "pandemic pantry" several times a week. Polcyn operated restaurants in Metro Detroit for 35 years and his first book on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Charcuterie-Craft-Salting-Smoking-Curing/dp/0393058298">Charcuterie</a>—co-authored by Michael Ruhlman—was nominated for a James Beard Award.
