The Complete Meat Cookbook

Summary: Fabulous Meat Cookbook
Review: This is a fabulous meat cookbook! I have used several of the recipes for lamb, pork and beef and they have all worked. The directions are very clear; no guess work is required. The different herb and spice rubs are really delicious. Many of the recipes work very well on a budget, and there are recipes for leftovers, too. The explanations of the different cuts of meat and their different (and for some cuts multiple) names were really helpful when I moved from the midwest to the west coast. Unlike some fancy cooking magazines which actually have recipes for beef stew using beef tenderloin, Aidells and Kelly will guide you to the best cut of meat for every dish. Highly recommended for both the beginning meat cook and those who just want some new, delicious, fool-proof recipes to try.

Summary: If you like meat you need this book
Review: This is an awesome meat cookbook. It gives so many ways to make the same cut of meat taste a little bit different. My family loves the brines, marinades and dry rubs. It is very easy to read and follow. A must have for any serious cook.

Summary: A Fabulous Cookbook
Review: This is by far the best cookbook I have (and I have a lot). The book is not only a collection of great recipes, but it teaches you how to select the best cuts of meat. I've never been a big meat eater, but I've tried at least two dozen recipes from this book, and loved every one. The recipes are very easy to follow and don't use strange or hard to find items. Definitely 5 stars! A must for every kitchen!

Summary: Best Cook Book I Have Read
Review: This is the best cook book I have read. I love to cook and have read many cook books. This one told me how to cook meat, buy it, and prepare it. The meat I cook now is wonderful and those I cook for tell me that it is the best meat they have ever eaten -- and better than that they get in good restaurants. Tips like letting the meat come to room temperature before cooking help enormously. Now I know why those crock pot roasts came out so bad. Because of the book I got a digital instant read thermometer and with it cooked the best pork chops I have tasted. Moist and succelent with no fear of illness. Steak I cook on the stove top comes out better than off my Weber Grill. Amazing. Although I do smoke up the house pretty good.

Summary: "new meat"
Review: This is the meat "bible" of my kitchen. In addition to all of the regular cooking techniques for "standard" meat cuts, this book excels in leading you to explore cuts of beef, lamb, and pork that you probably have stayed away from. When I see sales in supermarket circula's of meat that I have never tried, I pull out my "bible". The result has been an introduction of many succulent cuts of meats that are new to our family and enrich our eating experience. This book also makes a super great gift to the parent who has everything! You CAN NOT go wrong with this purchase!

Summary: This book delivers what it promises!!!!
Review: Upon reading this book I now understand all of the different cuts of meat, where they come from and how they are to be prepared. I have changed the way I shop and where I shop. My family can't believe the difference. I now confidently go up to the butcher and tell him which cut I want (even the rib numbers I want...they are not all the same). I can now spot bad meat a mile away and won't go near the stuff I would have previously bought. Meat is too expensive to guess at. I highly recommend this book!!!! The recipes are great too.
