  <default-description>First published in the United Kingdom, THE RIVER COTTAGE MEAT  BOOK quickly became an underground hit among food cognoscenti around the  world. Now tailored for American cooks, this loving, authoritative, and  galvanizing ode to good meat is one part manifesto on high-quality, local,  and sustainable meat production; two parts guide to choosing and storing  meats and fowl; and three parts techniques and recipes for roasting,  cooking, barbecuing, preserving, and processing meats and getting the most  out of leftovers. With this thought-provoking and practical guide, meat  eaters can knowledgeably buy and prepare meat for better health and better  living, while supporting the environment, vibrant local economies, and  respectful treatment of animals.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent and VERY detailed. So detailed that you might want to turn the pages without your glasses on -you never know when the next page might hold a dead rabbit or chicken feet or a pig head staring right at you... Ug. Other than that: LOTS of good information about buying meat, about different cu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39183724">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a book along the lines of The Omnivore's Dilemma--only the author is extremely clear in his conviction about what it means to ethically raise and eat meat.  It made me happy to plunk down $20 for a chicken--if I could be assured that it was able to live the life of a chicken while it was ali...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21489163">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wonderful stuff.  A thorough discussion of where our food comes from, how to get the best of it and how to make the best use of it.  If you are considering a foray into grass fed beef, game or even just a real understanding of intensive farming practices, this book will give you a great leg up.]]></body>
