Pros & Cons
Pros
A hybrid cooking/ingredient reference manual and cookbook. It’s a textbook, a coffee table display (the pictures are absolutely stunning), and fine dining recipe book all in one.
Recipe for filets mignons with sage-buttered mushrooms and black pepper polenta delivers classic, rich flavor. Serves 4-6 people with the filets mignon and mushroom dish.
Book tells you the range of expensive to least expensive cuts as well as taste and texture for beef, pork, lamb, and veal. Beef takes up half of the book with lamb and pork given their fair share of space.
The meat illustrated book is a hardback book with amazing shots of different meats. It's beautiful in design and execution, a great reference and nearly an art piece. Highly recommend especially for newer meat masters! Very nice and extremely informat... Read More
Each section has diagrams of where each cut is located, and is subdivided by those cuts. Every meat cut is shown in diagram form, and there are lots of tutorials and meat prep photos or drawings.
Cons
It's not marketed as a grill cookbook. Instead, you get very particular recipes not general guidelines.

00 for it a month and a half ago and now it's $20.
I came back to amazon to get one for myself and saw the price has gone up to $40.
However, the same book is being sold by cook’s illustrated for $19.
Shipping
Fast delivery, no fuss about customs clearance.
It’s on back order for a month but i can wait.
Packaging/appearance
As you'd expect from a cook's illustrated product this one is packed with detail and the recipes are clearly laid out with an e... Read More
Simple yet deeply informative and packed with steps in phots almost every page.
Competitiveness
I have to say, american test kitchem comes up with the most consistently high quality cookbooks with the most educational content.
I didn’t have exactly all of the correct ingredients but i can comparable ones.
But, really, there is a lot left out, and it's that the "other stuff" is left out that makes this less than a stellar book.
