this is a really helpful book. it not only
contains good recipes but explains the history and types
of meat in interesting ways. i refer to it often when
preparing a main dish.

My mom has a copy of this book. When my husband needed to eat low carb this was the cookbook she recommended but she would not loan me her copy. We searched and find our copy at a local used book store. The recipes are organized by type of meat so I can buy whatever beef, pork or lamb on sale and then find a recipe that will be good for that type of meat. I just wish he had written a follow up book on chicken, turkey and fish.

Very interesting content. I bought the book to learn more about different cuts of meat and tips for cooking it correctly. This book does both of these things. It also includes a lot of history on meat in the US. I have not tried any of the recipes yet.

Great book on meats and how to prepare them. Written by a butcher...so you know he knows his stuff. Fun info along with the recipes and tips. Couple great sausage recipes as well!
