Customer Reviews

A Must Have For People Who Are In The Food Bussiness
A well documented handbook of most meat in the market.It has beautiful pictures and detail describtions of each cut of meat.

From the scientific names of all muscle to the skeletal chart of the animal.The detail location, structure,and names of bones to the exact cutting point to seperate each muscle..it's awesome.

The addition of the poultry, turkey, duck/goose, and game birds section makes the guide book an even interesting and worthwhile purchase..

For students who are in the culinary courses this guide book will provide an in-depth knowledge of all the cuts of meat in the commercial market and help them to have a further understanding on this topic "BUTCHERING".

The guide book is a must have for people in the meat industry,it acts as a great reference book like what an encyclopedia does..

Meat Buyers Guide
The guide is easy to follow and logical. The pages are laminated so that the guide can be used in kitchen environments

As the title implies, for meat lovers
At $65.00, this book is primarily intended for libraries, but also for those who often buy and cook meat. It is an encyclopedia with lots of color illustrations of the various animals, and cuts of meat.
