After years of somehow being partnered with vegetarians, I'm now finally able to indulge in my carnivorousness- responsibly, of course. Needing to perfect my meat-cooking skills, I felt I could trust Chris Schlesinger's guidance, being a big fan of the East Coast Grill.
Though I do consult this book as a reference point every now and then, I'm pretty underwhelmed with the recipes and honestly, it has quite possibly the WORST index I've ever encountered. I KNOW I've read about brining, yet brining does not appear as a referenced topic in the index. Frustrating!
I think Bruce Aidells work is probably the way to go with meat; Schlesinger is better with fish.

Super meat cookbook. Recipes have been excellent, and introductory chapters on meat basics were very informative and helpful. Author acknowledges the health, ethics and environmental issues around meat-eating, and answers them pretty nicely: in short, yes it makes sense to eat less meat than most of us do, so let's really appreciate the meat that we do eat. The cookbook is written with this idea in mind, and it comes out real nice.

How to Cook Meat is not a cookbook, but rather a guide to understanding meat, specific cuts, cooking preparations, internal temperatures, and recipes. This is the best Guide or Cookbook I have ever read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it has some delicious sides along with delicious meat recipes.

More of a meat recipe book than a cooking technique book.
