The Organic Meat Cookbook

Frances Bissell is one of the finest contemporary cooks, with (according to the Observer) "the largest following of any cookery writer in the country". In this superb book she has compiled a classic compendium of over 200 delicious recipes, covering beef, veal, pork, ham, lamb, poultry and game. Here are tempting slow-cooked braises and stews to enjoy for a winter Sunday lunch, light and quick one-course meals to rustle up at the end of a working day and sauces, preserves and accompaniments to lend a new twist to traditional dishes.

In addition, she provides invaluable advice about finding and buying the best ingredients, all the various cuts and joints, equipment, roasting charts and how to carve. Here is everything you need to buy, prepare, cook and eat meat in the modern age.
