A cookbook to turn passionate meat lovers into confident meat cooks, with more than 120 deliciously meaty recipes from butcher and chef, Peter Sanagan.

Cooking Meat is a meat-lover's guide to everything there is to know about meat, written by Peter Sanagan, owner of Sanagan’s Meat Locker. From information on sustainable, responsible farming to understanding the different cuts of meats for sale (and what their labels really mean), Cooking Meat is an insider's look at choosing, buying, prepping, cutting, and cooking meat.

Inside are more than 120 recipes, from childhood-inspired favorites, like Meatballs, Crispy Baked Chicken Wings, and Memphis-Style Barbecued Side Ribs, to classic comfort food, like Fried Chicken and Steak and Ale Pie, and from elevated cuisine like Duck Confit and international favorites like Lamb Biryani, to simple paired-back dishes like Roasted Fresh Ham. With a master guide for every common cut of meat, along with the best cooking methods to pair with them (from roasting to braising to grilling to sous viding to pressure cooking), Peter gives you the tools to determine what type of meat you want to cook, and how to get the best results every time.

In Cooking Meat, you'll discover an invaluable reference, like a guided tour of the butcher's case, written with one goal: to turn meat lovers into meat cooks.

I have trusted Peter Sanagan and his team since day one. The world needs to know about meat and Peter is our Shepherd.”

MATTY MATHESON, CHEF, AND AUTHOR OF MATTY MATHESON: A COOKBOOK

From the early days of Peter Sanagan’s career, I could see the passion he had for his craft. His expertise is immense, and sets him apart from the pack

MASSIMO CAPRA, CHEF, RESTAURATEUR, AND CO-AUTHOR OF 3 CHEFS: THE KITCHEN MEN

Peter Sanagan is my local butcher. He knows a lot about meat, from the challenges facing our farmers, to the art of butchery, to the ways we can work with different cuts in the kitchen and at the grill. He’s a wonderfully clear and graceful writer, and a natural teacher. Now his deep understanding of meat is available to all. I’m already thinking of this book as Sanagan’s Meat Bible.”
