This Meat: A Kitchen Education by James Peterson book al
ready in the world. Though his introduction addresses vegans, admonishing all
to “follow your conscience” about the consumption of animals, the rest of his
text advocates only the use of the best lamb, rabbit, beef, and chicken
available. Thoroughly review the first two chapters; in them Peterson sets
forth the proper ways to sauté, grill, braise, and poach (among other methods),
illustrates such fundamental preparation methods as julienning a leek and
sectioning a turnip, and identifies the flavors associated with different
international cuisines.
Award-winning author James Peterson is renowned for his
instructive, encyclopedic cookbooks—each one a master course in the
fundamentals of cooking.
Like well-honed knives, his books are indispensable tools
for any kitchen enthusiast, from the novice home cook, to the aspiring chef, to
the seasoned professional. Meat: A Kitchen Education is Peterson’s guide for
carnivores, with more than 175 recipes and 550 photographs that offer a full
range of meat and poultry cuts and preparation techniques, presented with
Peterson’s unassuming yet authoritative style.
Instruction begins with an informative summary of meat
cooking methods: sautéing, broiling, roasting, braising, poaching, frying,
stir-frying, grilling, smoking, and barbecuing. Then, chapter by chapter,
Peterson demonstrates classic preparations for every type of meat available
from the butcher: chicken, turkey, duck, quail, pheasant, squab, goose, guinea
hen, rabbit, hare, venison, pork, beef, veal, lamb, and goat. Along the way, he
shares his secrets for perfect pan sauces, gravies, and jus. Peterson completes
the Meat: A Kitchen Education book with a selection of homemade sausages,
pâtés, terrines, and broths that are the base of so many dishes.
