The Grassfed Gourmet - review:
This is a really good book for anyone interested in improving his or her health by making simple lifestyle changes.
Grassfed Gourmet:
I gave two copies as Christmas gifts. All I hear is favorable. I did not have much time to examine the book before parting with it but the author's approach is pretty much the way I already cook. I keep a milk cow, raise a grassfed steer every year anad love to cook so the author and I think alike. Joann S. Grohman author of Keeping a Family Cow
A must have for grassfed newbies:
If you are new to grassfed meats, this book is a must have. If you've tried grassfed beef, and found it to be "too tough", get your hands on this cookbook, grab a meat thermometer, follow Shannon's recommendations, and you will never go back to grain-fed beef, I promise! For everyone else, the recipes in all of the sections (beef, lamb, pork, chicken) are a pure joy.
Great Recipes:
Yummy recipes. I've finally found how to eat chicken livers so that they're palatable. More than palatable actually; the chicken liver mousse is delicious as is the California pot roast. Grass fed meats are the only way to go!!
