About this title

From the Inside Flap

Grass-fed. Organic. Natural. Pastured. Raised Without Antibiotics. Heirloom Breed. Meat has never been better, but the vast array of labels at today s meat counter can overwhelm even the savviest shopper. Which are worth the price? Which are meaningless? Bruce Aidells, America s foremost meat expert and the founder of Aidells Sausage Company, makes sense of the confusion and helps you choose the best steaks, chops, roasts, and ribs and match them to the right preparation method.

The definitive book for our time, The Great Meat Cookbook includes

recipes for newly popular meats like bison, goat, heirloom pork, and grass-fed beef, veal, and lamb
