Editorial Reviews

Review

"Your mouth will water just reading the recipes."--Sportsmen's Series: Big Game (a special edition of Fishing & Hunting News magazine)

-- Review

From the Back Cover

There's nothing like tasty, chewy jerky for satisfying those hunger cravings. Moreover, jerky is made from lean cuts of meat, so it's naturally low in fat and high in protein. Homemade jerky is far superior to the packaged kind, is much less expensive, and is surprisingly simple to make. A.D. Livingston shows you how, including: which cuts of meat to buy and how to prepare them; jerky drying methods; where to buy supplies and equipment; how to store jerky; mouthwatering recipes for beef, venison, fish, fowl, and exotic meats. For backpackers, country-living folks, jackleg cooks, and anyone who wants a snack that isn't junk food, Jerky is a welcome and unique cookbook. (5 1/2 x 8 1/4, 160 pages, recipes)

I was impressed with the range of possibilities for making jerky that were presented here. While some books stay with the basics, this one offers options that I enjoyed. I had no idea that you could make jerky from ground meat, but they tell you how here. They also offer more options besides a dehydrator for making jerky, and give good details how to make it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for USDA employees!
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2002
Verified Purchase
Livingston takes a definite outdoorsman approach to jerky. He is sharply critical of USDA safety regulations, and he doesn't believe in nitrate cure as a preservative (he includes it in a few recipes, but says it's for preserving the color of the meat, not as a safety procedure). Some of the air-drying recipes gave me the willies just thinking about them! Livingston's approach to safety is to use meat from trusted sources, which often means avoiding the local supermarket in favor of a butcher or processor. He says if you use meat from known sources you'll avoid many problems. Good advice, but not always practical.
The book is lively and readable, but too many of the recipes are for curing 10 pounds of meat -- I wish he'd included smaller-quantity versions of some of them.
This is NOT the definitive book for beginning jerky-makers, but it's probably a good buy for an experienced jerky-maker to add to his/her library.

I bought my husband a Nesco Snack Master Dehydrator for Christmas, and this book along with it. Livingston is great anyhow, we have a book by him about grilling. He's knowledgeable. A must have if you make your own jerky.

I purchased this as a gift for my husband - He likes the book but it is not what he expected from the title. There are a lot of recipes but not a lot of "how tos" or more detailed in-depth information for the person wanting to go beyond oven-made jerkey (he has a smoker).

If you are starting out making beef jerky this is a great book. It has a wide variety different things to jerky. If you have experience it might not have much for you. It was an interesting book to read either way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overall guide
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is a great book for hunters and sportsmen / sportswomen because it tells you what is OK to make jerky from (no cooking) and the various species that make better jerky. There are lots of jerky recipes for the various ways to make jerky including just drying in the air. The author takes a somewhat lackadaisical approach to food safety and leaves it up to the reader to decide how safe it is to eat uncooked supermarket meats. Personally, I would rather be safe than sorry but that's just me.

A nice book, but. It is a little too small a size to give it 5 stars. Also no pictures which are always helpful in a cookbook. Good side is the variety and number of recipes.
