Pros & Cons
Pros
A testament to all that is great and good and noble about meat. Wonderous prose. On par with thomas browne and j. J. Watson. Hugh is a master of what he does and we are merely students!
When i'm ready to roast a full roast beef, these are the instructions i'll turn to. This cookbook gives clear instructions on basic techniques as de-glazing, and it is exceptionally easy to follow.
This book is awesome. It's very thorough and covers nearly every topic concerning meat. It is well illustrated and explained in easily understood terms.
