This review is from: The Complete Book of Butchering, Smoking, Curing, and Sausage Making: How to Harvest Your Livestock & Wild Game (Paperback)
I debated whether to give this book a three star rating or a two star rating. The pictures are excellent and for that reason alone, I might have given it three stars. However, and this is the basic flaw of this book, there are not really enough of them just as there is not really enough information in a book that bill itself as "The Complete Book of Butchering, Smoking, Curing and Sausage Making."The chapters on butchering are fairly decent. Like I said, the pictures are really good even though not every step is pictured. Still, with this book alone, you could probably butcher an animal and do an acceptable job. The other chapters, the ones on curing and smoking, are completely inadequate and could only be considered overviews at best. There is not even one actual recipe for curing meat. The curing section discusses curing in the most general and non-specific sense and contains no recipes. The smoking section goes give a diagram for constructing a smoker but again, it is just a guide and does not give any recipes or times or any specifics at all. The Section on sausages is also weak. While it does provide some recipes (really nothing that you couldn't get over the internet) it breezes over technique and is mostly a list of definitions. I doubt a novice could use any of these sections to cure or smoke meat and anyone with experience would probably not find much helpful in this book. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful

A very well written book with lots of very useful color pics not just drawings. I am by no means an expert butcher this book gives me the confidence to tackle the job.

An outstanding guide perfect for any would-be home meat cutter and butcher,

This review is from: The Complete Book of Butchering, Smoking, Curing, and Sausage Making: How to Harvest Your Livestock & Wild Game (Paperback)
The Complete Book of Butchering, Smoking, Curing and Sausage Making offers a fine guide to butchering, from field dressing wild game and making the best cuts from an animal to avoiding injuries, disposing of unwanted parts, and basic safety practices. The result is an outstanding guide perfect for any would-be home meat cutter and butcher.
