For the average cook ready to take on the challenge, The Meat Hook Meat Book is the perfect guide: equal parts cookbook and butchering handbook.
Pat LaFrieda, the third generation butcher and owner of America’s premier meatpacking business, presents the ultimate book of everything meat, with more than seventy-five mouthwatering recipes for beef, pork, lamb, veal, and poultry.
Presents recipes that use a wide range of available beef, pork, lamb, and veal cuts and outlines quick-cooking and easy-method options before progressing to more time-consuming preparations.
This comprehensive collection contains everything cooks need to know about pork, including how to choose from the many cuts available, how to serve a crowd with ease, and how to ensure moist pork chops and succulent roasts every time.
The book will also explore sausage-making, with tips and recipes, and will look at preserving meat through curing and smoking.
This visual manual is the first to teach by showing exactly what butchers know, whether cooks want to learn how to turn a primal into familiar and special cuts or to simply identify everything in the case at the market.
Sausages have been around for a very long time but the sausage types with which we are so familiar today have been developed and refined by craftsmen over the past 3000 years or more.
This book is written primarily for the family to help solve the meat problem and to augment the food supply.
The book begins with an overview of the historical evolution of world beef consumption and introductory chapters on carcass and meat quality, market preparation and world beef production.
