International Meat Book

Author: Carole Lalli

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 is a flavor-packed collection of sixty of the world's favorite recipes featuring lamb, beef, game, and pork, fully illustrated with glorious color photographs. With dishes from Europe, Asia, North and South America, and beyond, this follow-up to The International Soup Book celebrates meat's centrality to global cuisine with simple, tasty, no-fail preparations.

The International Meat Book offers a diverse array of tantalizing entrées -- 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.
