Product Description
A top London chef offers expert advice on choosing, buying, and cooking all varieties of meat and poultry as well as 50 international recipes.

I would recommend any of the books in this series.

Product Description
This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Meat, Beef & Poultry Processing in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'.

The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).

This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.

Industry Definition

Product Description
Done right, it is the most appetizing of meals, and nothing is so primally satisfying. We dream of lamb so tender, it slips away from the bone; chicken so juicy, tears spring to our eyes; steak so mind-blowingly savory, its flavor runs a tingling course up and down our spines. If meat is your thing, Omaha Steaks Meat may have you lying awake at night, counting sheep and licking your chops.

From the visit to the butcher to the first slice carved from that perfectly pink roast, veteran cookbook authors John Harrisson and Frederick J. Simon guide you through the world of meat with great expertise. More than150 recipes, accompanied by 40 mouthwatering full-color photographs, range from down-home hearty comfort food like Roast Rack of Pork with Red Cabbage, Apples, and Cranberries Braised in Red Wine to such epicurean fare as Steak Canapés with Roquefort Cream and Caramelized Pears and Onions on Garlic Toasts.

Omaha Steaks Meat is the final frontier of meat as we know it. Those with culinary wanderlust will find destinations in dishes like Vietnamese Summer Rolls with Beef, Shrimp, and Peanut Dipping Sauce or Ethiopian Chicken Stew with Berbere Sauce and Injera Bread, while those who are game will appreciate the many recipes for meats relatively new to the market — ostrich, quail, duck, venison, rabbit, goat, buffalo, and wild boar. Whether from someplace familiar or far-flung, each recipe includes instructions for a simple side, sauce, salsa, rub, relish, chutney, compote, dressing, glaze, or marinade — in short, those extra details that make every dish in the book a meal in itself, worthy of company. If you love meat, then you have found your cookbook.Amazon.com Review
There are times when nothing but meat--tender, juicy, satisfying--will do. For those occasions Omaha Steaks Meat, from the renowned mail-order steak purveyors, is made to order. With over 150 recipes for meat, game, and poultry, the book presents delicious, globally-inspired dishes, such as Beef Filet with Roasted Corn-Wild Mushroom Salsa and Ancho Chile Aïoli; Spicy Veal Meatballs with Red Bell Pepper Sauce and Penne Pasta; and Durango Venison Goulash with Yellow Finn Potatoes. The book's whole-plate approach to individual recipes makes preparations lengthy, but cooks can easily extract main dishes from their accompanying sides and fix any of the dishes on their own.

Poultry and game aren't neglected, and cooks normally wary of unfamiliar meats should find such recipes as Venison Steaks with Wild Rice and Roasted Corn-Serrano Salsa; Wild Boar Sausage with Caramelized Apples and Buttermilk-Cornmeal Waffles; and Buffalo Strip Steaks with Wild Mushroom Ragout and Polenta enticing. (Sources for game meats--most of which are farmed--are given.) Even turkey is tackled, and dishes like Hill Country Turkey Chili with Buttermilk Cornbread or Roasted Turkey Sandwiches with Cranberry-Orange Spread and Red Chile Chips--the best imaginable destination for turkey leftovers--provide more good eating. With notes on cooking meat, doneness, and portion size, and a selection of basic recipes, the book is a valuable and happy resource for meat lovers everywhere. --Arthur Boehm ... Read more
