Book Description

April 1, 2011

From appearances at the most high-end restaurants to street food carts coast-to-coast, goat meat and dairy products are being embraced across the country as the next big thing. With its excellent flavor, wide-ranging versatility, and numerous health benefits, goat meat, milk, and cheese are being sought by home cooks. And while goat is the world’s primary meat (upwards of 70 percent of the red meat eaten around the world is goat) never before has there been a cookbook on this topic in the United States. Goat is a no-holds-barred goatapedia, laugh-out-loud cooking class, cheesemaking workshop, and dairy-milking expedition all in one. With recipes such as Pan-Roasted Chops with Blackberries and Sage, Meatballs with Artichokes and Fennel, and Chocolate-Dipped Goat Cheese Balls, this book is sure to become the resource for this new frontier.  

Praise for Goat:


 

“If in five years we’re all eating goat burgers and goat chili, it’ll be because of this book.”

Bon Appétit


“A rare guide to all things goat . . . Even if you skip the meat chapters, there’s enough in this book to keep you cooking — and entertained.”
- Dallas Morning News

"Boasting fewer calories and less fat than chicken, beef, lamb, or pork, there is certainly a health case to be made for goat meat, say Scarbrough and Weinstein, but it is the environmental impact that may be the most compelling from a societal point of view." 
-Treehugger.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Floored by what I learned March 13, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have several of Mark and Bruce's cookbooks and use them religiously. I had never had goat before, but tried a goat recipe that Mark posted on his web site/blog RealFoodHasCurves.com, and fell in love. This is more than a cookbook. It is loaded with information and stories about goats, goat farming, goat butchering, and everything goat. I received the book yesterday and read through it until the wee hours last night. Marking recipes that I want to try and being enthralled with the goat information that I learned. I couldn't wait to share with my husband that goat has less fat and calories than chicken-a staple in our diet that he considers to be very healthy and low in fat. The book armed with such detailed information that I am able to ask intelligent questions about the goat meat available in my local farmer's market, and may even venture to a nearby goat farm for fresh meat several hours away this summer as a road trip. Many recipes have extras that help the cook better understand the recipe or make the recipe a little simpler.

One can easily tell that this book was a very personal endeavor, as the stories and antidotes let you in on who Bruce and Mark really are. They each share their first encounter with goat, which had me in stitches as I read. And let you in on the research that they did for this book which I found very fascinating. Thank you for this information, as it made me want to learn more and try many of the recipes located in the book.

I can tell that I will be hosting a goat house party in the very near future. If the other recipes are as good as the Spanish leg of goat that I prepared a few weeks ago, I know that the goat meals I make from Goat: Meat, Milk, Cheese will have my hubby and 3 year old swooning and asking for more.

I recommend Goat: Meat, Milk, Cheese to anyone who wants to learn more about goat, the animal most eaten in the world. The recipes you will find are from around the world and will get you wanting to try something beyond your normal comfort zone.

Thanks Mark and Bruce!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Goat January 10, 2013
By TSP
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
We raised a few meat goats this past summer and wanted goat-specific recipes for the freezer-full of meat we ended up with.

I was out on a limb if I wanted to buy this book or not considering some of the reviews. I looked around online and found a couple recipes by the authors in a newspaper article to test run. The meals turned out fantastic so I went ahead and bought the book. It's my most satisfying cookbook purchase in several years!

We've tried at least one recipe from each of the meat sections (eg. hunks, ground, etc) and every recipe has been excellent. When cooked as instructed, the goat meat is perfect. I will say that my husband and I are both experienced cooks having been employed in professional kitchens, and we keep a fairly well stocked pantry. Some of the recipes may be complicated, or at least require some time to prepare. Some recipes definitely require somewhat obscure ingredients (sumac, various chilies, green pumpkin seeds) that I know my mother never kept in her pantry.

My favorite recipe from the book so far is the Mole Verde. My least favorite was the meatballs and fennel--however the meatballs were still good.

We were debating whether we would want to get meat goats again next summer because they are a handful (as the lady at the processor said, "that little one was a pill!" over, and over). After cooking with this book I'm already looking at my fence that needs fixing to get ready for more.

I'll be honest, I've barely skimmed the milk and cheese sections because we don't have dairy goats and don't have good access to dairy-goat products. Once I get my act together to make a shopping list before heading to town, I will update the review after trying some of the milk and cheese recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maaaaaarvelous! November 20, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Goat by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough is a must for the bookshelves of anyone who is interested in goats and goat products, including meat, milk, and cheese.

Goat is primarily a cookbook, full of fresh, inventive ways to use goat meat and other products -- and it's the only one like it on the market. You're not going to find a more comprehensive collection of goat-related recipes. From appetizers (baked goat brie) to main courses (braised meatballs with artichokes and fennel) to dessert (goat milk brownies, cheesecake, and fudge), you'll be able to impress even the most discerning tastes.

I mean who wouldn't want a big ole helping of No-Holds-Barred Mac and Crab and Goat Cheese?!

There are also easy-to-follow instructions for making basic goat products like yogurt as well as stews, curries, and all kinds of amazing comfort food. This book is simply packed with goat deliciousness.

But the true highlight of this book is the writing and storytelling of Weinstein and Scarbrough; their first encounters with goats would be enough to carry the whole recipe collection, but they don't stop there. Between chapters and with each recipe is more lively, engaging prose -- finding that kind of writing in a cookbook is a true, rare pleasure.

I'd highly recommend this book to goat lovers; those who want to try some new recipes based on goat meat, milk, and cheese; cookbook lovers; and anyone who just love some good food writing. It's all there in Goat. Maaaarvelous!
