The River Cottage Meat Book was really for anyone and everyone interested by the idea of meat. The writer goes in-depth with every single aspect on the topic of meat from slaughtering to aging to butchering to picking out the right cuts and methods of cooking. The book also includes alot of recipes. The cool thing about this book is that it doesn't only focus on red meat but rather cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry, with detailed guides about how to get the best out of each item. The book also includes diagrams detailing where each cut comes from on the animal. Overall this book is pretty great.
The Sopranos Family Cookbook is a clever write. Every entry and entrée comes from the world of Tony Soprano and his associates. And though the world from which the book comes from is fictional, from what I know or think I know about italian food, the recipes are not. The first recipe in the book was your basic marina sauce. From there the case for italiano cooking just keeps building. The book contains all the standard recipes like lasagna and pizza a spaghetti. But it also has recipes that use fresh seafood, capturing the joys of what the Mediterranean has to offer. This cookbook is definitely for anyone who is a fan of the show. But it is also in my humble opinion legit enough as a cookbook for anyone who wants to cook some at the least inspired by italian food.
