Review: I've been a fan of Cook's Illustrated since 2004. Their recipes are tested and reliable. I own at least 20 of their cookbooks and have subscribed to their magazine for the last 15 years. I trust their recipes. I am a homecook "foodie" with a cookbook collection of over 300 cookbooks which I actually cook from. Needless to say, I feel I have a good grasp of good recipes and good cookbooks. Meat Illustrated does not disappoint. It is part education, part cookbook. If you're a carnivore that loves to cook meat, this book is for you. Finally a book that shows a) where the cuts are located on the animal, b) how the meat is cut, c) the flavor profile of the cut, d) the best way(s) to cook that particular cut. Really a great resource all around for the cook that is interested in learning more about the different cuts of meat plus some EXCELLENT recipes. The book layout is beautiful: More than one recipe per page, some black and white drawings (Cook's Illustrated signature style) mixed in with color photographs. Pages are of high quality and lay flat when open. I am not disappointed at all! 11/15 Update: I don't usually need to do so, but I read through the book cover to cover. This book is fantastic and I wish CI/ATK would follow this format going forward. Short paragraph descriptions of the recipe methodology (no long full page explanations like in the magazines that are a bit excessive) and a full range of cooking styles (from high heat grilling to sous vide) and cuisines (Mediterranean, Middle East, and Asian for example) that make this recipe suitable for a broad range of cooks. I've tried 3 recipes so far: Filipino Adobo, Carnitas, and Kalbi. For the purists, these may not be 100% authentic, but they were fantastic, straightforward, with easily accessible ingredients nonetheless. And in case you're wondering, I found very few repeats in this book from previous CI/ATK publications. It goes without saying: This is one of the best cookbook purchases I've made in the last 10 years.
