The International Meat Book

Meat of all varieties is enjoying an astounding comeback in the American home, taking its traditional place at the center of the dining table and knocking high-carb pastas and grains off their longtime pedestals.

The International Meat Book offers a diverse array of tantalizing entrees -- look no further for a perfect Grilled Porterhouse or a fragrant and spicy Sumatran Beef Curry, for a hearty Cassoulet or light and summery Lemongrass Pork Chops. From the familiar to the exotic, The International Meat Book is a delicious tour of the world's best-loved meats, with selections that promise to become prime cuts in your part of the world as well.
