James Beard Award-winning chef Symon owns several acclaimed restaurants in the Midwest and is an Iron Chef of Food Network's Iron Chef America. His second cookbook has meat-centric chapters ("Beef," "Pork," "Lamb and Goat," "Poultry," and "Game") that contain shopping advice and suggested cooking methods for individual cuts. Complimentary sides including Tomato Salad with Red Onion and Dill are secondary to such globally influenced mains as Smoked Pork Butt with Habanero Glaze and Goat Ragu with Pappardelle.
VERDICT Symon fans and readers who liked Rick Tramonto's Steak with Friends will enjoy these hearty meat dishes. The recipes pose few shopping challenges, but they demand a sizable equipment inventory.
