Summary:
Author, cook, and busy urban mom Leslie Miller shows city dwellers how to go whole hog - or cos, or goat, or lamb. She tells you how to find and evaluate local farmers; plan for meat cuts and quantities; store and preserve your purchases; and dish up a whole animal, one part at a time. She explores neighborhood markets and 4H fairs, talks to dedicated farmers and butchers, and explains how even her children relate to the cow in the freezer. And her 45 delectable recipes - such as Workday Coffee-Aleppo Rubbed Pork Roast, Stacked Beef Enchiladas, Trinidadian Goat Curry, or Lamb Tagine with Pears and Sour Cherries - will inspire many a mouthwatering meal. From the moment she buys her first cow from Uncle Dave, to her last forkful of tender pulled pork, Miller shares her wholefood journey and helps everyone connect to the source of their own meat, through to the bone.--COVER.
