The Better Homes and Gardens Meat Cook Book (Second Edition) is organized into four distinct sections: Meat Makes the Meal, Meals Made with Ease, Sandwiches and Salads, and Fun with Action-Meals. If meat jargon has you befuddled, check the Meat Makes the Meal section for an answer. It is essential to be able to identify, buy, and store various meat cuts. Included are charts and tips that will help. Scan the pages for meat recipes of all kinds to star in the meal, from large roasts, to ground meats and variety meats. Also look here for fish and seafood recipes, poultry and game recipes, and of course, how to make gravy and season meat. Want to carve like an expert? Just follow the step-by-step drawings and directions included. When demands on time outside the home are great, a meal that requires little preparation time is a real boon to busy homemakers. The Meals Made with Ease section features sausages, frankfurters, and canned meats, as well as leftover and "planned-over" meats. Some of the recipes have short cooking and preparation times. Others which need longer cooking are built around shopping shortcuts and a minimum of pot watching in the kitchen. Make meat salads and sandwiches the focal point of the meal with the Salads and Sandwiches section. Hot or cold sandwiches are perfect for luncheons or family suppers. When a lighter meal is the order of the day, plan the menu around a hearty salad. No matter whether it's made with meat, seafood, or poultry, it's a team that is hard to beat when served with freshly baked rolls or muffins hot from the oven and a dessert. Be inventive when planning a party and let everyone join in the food preparation with the Food Fun with Action-Meals section. Try a clambake on the beach or stay right in the backyard for a barbecue or chuck wagon dinner. Move indoors, if desired, to serve an appetizer buffet or Hawaiian luau. From simple homespun meals to lavish party fare, the Better Homes and Gardens Meat Cook Book has recipes to fit.
