MEAT: Everything You Need to Know

MEAT: Everything You Need to Know

Pat LaFrieda, the third generation butcher and owner of Americaâ€™s premier meatpacking business, presents the ultimate book of everything meat, with more than seventy-five mouthwatering recipes for beef, pork, lamb, veal, and poultry.

For true meat lovers, a beautifully prepared cut of beef, pork, lamb, veal, or poultry is not just the center of the meal, it is the reason for eating. No one understands meatâ€™s seductive hold on our palates better than Americaâ€™s premier butcher, Pat LaFrieda. In Meat: Everything You Need to Know, he passionately explains the best and most flavorful cuts to purchase (some of them surprisingly inexpensive or unknown) and shares delicious recipes and meticulous techniques, all with the knowledge that comes from a fourth generation butcher. If you have ever wondered what makes the meat in Americaâ€™s finest restaurants so delectable, LaFriedaâ€”the butcher to the countryâ€™s greatest chefsâ€”has the answers, and the philosophy behind it.

In seventy-five recipesâ€”some of them decades-old LaFrieda family favorites, some from New York Cityâ€™s best restaurateurs, including Lidia Bastianich, Josh Capon, Mike Toscano, and Jimmy Bradleyâ€”the special characteristics of each type of meat comes into exquisite focus. Patâ€™s signature meat selections have inspired famous chefs, and now Meat brings home cooks the opportunity to make similar mouthwatering recipes including multiple LaFrieda Custom Burger Blends, Whole Shank Osso Bucco, Tuscan Fried Chicken with Lemon, Crown Pork Roast with Pineapple Bread Stuffing, Frenched Chop with Red Onion Soubise, Beef Wellington with Mushroom Cream Sauce, and Chipotle-Braised Tomahawk Short Ribs, along with many more.

Step-by-step photographs make tricky operations like butterflying a veal chop or tying a crown roast easy even for beginners; beautiful double-page photographic diagrams show more clearly than any previous book where different cuts come from on the animal; and advice on necessary equipment, butcherâ€™s notes, and glorious full-color photographs of the dishes complete this magnificent and comprehensive feast for the senses.

Throughout the pages of Meat, Pat LaFriedaâ€™s interwoven tales of life in the meatpacking business and heartwarming personal reminiscences celebrate his familyâ€™s century of devotion to their calling and are a tribute to a veritable New York City institution. Patâ€™s reverence and passion for his subject both teach and inspire.
