Meatsmith: Home Cooking for Friends and Family

Born from the partnership between celebrated Australian chef Andrew McConnell (Gimlet, Cutler & Co) and world class butcher Troy Wheeler, Meatsmith is a tribute to the omnivore’s table, with over 100 brilliant recipes to inspire charcuterie cravings, long lunches, dazzling dinners and sensational sides that could steal the show. More than another meat cookbook, this is an essential lifestyle companion for cooking widely and creating meals and moments to be remembered. The beautifully designed compendium offers achievable, delicious recipes and gorgeous photography, including recipes for salads, vegetables and sauces; as well as anecdotes, advice and asides. Discover a range of menus for seasonal occasions, from a fiery butcher’s picnic to lunch in the garden, a duck dinner party to the ultimate steak, and One Great Dessert. Andrew and Troy’s belief in quality and customer service has seen Meatsmith become one of Australia’s best boutique butchers. Now it’s the inspiring cookbook every kitchen must have.
