Product Description
In her first book, The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook, author and livestock farmer Shannon Hayes introduced a radically simple concept: sustainable practices like pastured-based farming translate into food that is tastier, healthier, and better for both people and the planet.The key to getting the most out of pasture-raised meats, though, is understanding how to cook them properly. In her newest book, The Farmer and the Grill, Hayes offers useful tips on grilling, barbecuing, and spit-roasting all cuts of pasture-raised meats: beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Dozens of simple, straightforward recipes provide all the basic cooking instructions, plus directions on how to make a variety of herb rubs, marinades, and barbecue sauces to accompany the meats. Traditional techniques such as Southern barbecue and Argentine-style asado cooking will help readers grill like the pros. And specific notes from pastured-based farmers on dealing with natural variations in grassfed meats will ensure success every time out.Creative and mouth-watering recipes include Tamari-Orange Whiskey Kebabs, Grilled Steaks in a Cilanto-Olive Paste, and Rack of Lamb with a Spiced Fig Crust. Plus, special sidebars on choosing meats, basic cooking techniques, and other topics mean that socially-conscious cooks will gain a real understanding of grassfed meat and why it is starting to occupy a central place on the American dinner plate.

Great resource July 14, 2008
Bought this book after hearing the author interviewed on NPR. Although I don't eat meat, my family does, and my husband particularly likes grilling. We recently started a small flock of sheep so this fall we'll have our own lamb. I've also started buying local grassfed beef and chicken and have found this volume to be an excellent resource. Loaded with great advice for getting the most from the grassfed meat we buy (or raise). The author's sense of humor (essential for a small farmer!) shines through on every page. She also presents a well-reasoned and compelling argument for avoiding mass-produced meats. Highly recommended.
