The Meat Hook Meat Book: Buy, Butcher, and Cook Your Way to Better Meat

From the owner of Brooklyn's beloved Meat Hook comes "a butchery book you'll actually use" full of stories, practical tips and more than 60 recipes (Bon Appétit).

Buying large, unbutchered pieces of meat from a local farm or butcher shop means knowing where and how your food was raised, and getting better quality at a better price. It means getting what you want, not just what a grocery store puts out for sale?and tailoring your cuts to what you want to cook, not the other way around.

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. Start by cutting up a chicken, and soon you'll be breaking down an entire pig, creating your own custom burger blends, and throwing a legendary barbecue.

The Meat Hook Meat Book features more than 60 recipes, plus hundreds of photographs and clever illustrations. With stories that capture the Meat Hook experience, even those who haven't shopped there will become fans.
