Steve
"I purchased the Eat Cured Meat online course, and I'm happy with its information on how to cure meat properly. The instructional videos, recipes and cold smoking ebook are worth the price to have a single source for start-to-finish dry curing process details."
Ron
"I thought the course was full of good information. I purchased the course to supplement my curing knowledge and experience, which I first learned in Tuscany... includes all the step-by-step information needed to produce high-quality, home-cured meat products"
Bradley
"When I first started looking at the possibility of dry curing my own meat, I was completely overwhelmed. I purchased a popular book on the subject of charcuterie. I came across this course, and it quickly helped to mitigate my intimidation. Thanks to Tom and his course, I am well on my way to curing whole muscle meats in my basement."

Tom - Eat Cured Meat


"I've spent decades learning techniques across the globe, having made thousands of pounds of cured meats - made mistakes, learnt and perfected the craft.
I'm here to teach you the safe and delicious skills to take your cooking to the next level"

It's one of the most common reactions. The truth is, people have been curing and smoking meat safely for thousands of years. The risk comes from improvising without proper knowledge, which is exactly what this course eliminates.
Every recipe uses precise, tested ratios. The science behind safe curing temperatures, salt levels, and smoke absorption is explained in plain terms.
By the time you serve your first batch, you'll be able to explain exactly why it's safe, and your family will be too busy eating it to argue.
The course is built around what most home kitchens already have. Salt, meat, your regular fridge or oven. If you want to go deeper into smoking, the course walks you through exactly what to get and what to avoid, with options at every budget.
Nothing is hidden behind expensive tool purchases or an upgrade you didn't expect.
Depends on the method. With the right guidance, a simple dry cure takes about 7 days. Wet brining is similar. If you want to cold smoke after curing, add another day or two.
The course walks you through each timeline so you know exactly what to expect before you start. Most students have their first batch sliced and in the pan within their first week.
