Clark539 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, I was recomended this book from here and i went out and bought it straight away. Its an excellant book, its not just a cookery book but takes you through from field to plate. it also includes a game section. I am learning a lot from it as i am new to cooking but i would imagine even a seasoned chef would learn from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_seagrave Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 The Meat Book is excellent and I cannot recommend it highly enough. As with the River Cottage Cookbook, it is a readable and enlightening book about animal husbandry and ethics as much as it is a collection of recipes. A lot of sense can also be found in Clarissa and Jonny's "Sunday Roast" book which I picked up for next to nothing in a Sussex Stationers. There is a good section of roasting (and serving) large fish, and the step by step carving of a fore/wing rib joint of beef is really handy as well.
