Well its has finally arrived. I was really looking foward to this book coming. It is well thought out and I love that the recipes include all parts of the animal. There is so much unnecessary waste and especially with meat prices increasing, this book will give you more options. Now having said that I'm still not keen to try anything in the Sheeps Offal chapter. But alot of the recipes are slow cooked meals, beef cheeks braised in beer and tomato or Asian pork belly. I have tried a number of times now to cook lambs neck but get stuck when having to cut into the neck, but Chris has a recipe that will be very easy to follow without worrying if you're about to cut your finger off. I found the recipes to be easy to follow but adventurous enough not to insult the home cook.
There is also a lovely desert chapter, chocolate cigars with passionfruit curd, vanilla ice-cream and raspberries or ginger beerman, brown butter and cinnamon ice-cream sandwiches. Overall a very masculine book, that has been beautifully photographed. I highly recommend this book.
$39.95 Penguin Australia.
