Michael Symon loves meat. Nothing gets him fired up like searing a porterhouse steak to a perfect medium rare or slowly braising a pork shoulder until it falls apart at the touch of a fork. In MICHAEL SYMON’S CARNIVORE (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; $35.00; on sale October 16, 2012), his second cookbook, the Iron Chef and cohost of ABC’s The Chew shares his expert tips on selecting breeds, cuts, and techniques to help home cooks, both at the meat counter and in the kitchen.

At the heart of MICHAEL SYMON’S CARNIVORE are 120 recipes covering every kind of meat—beef, pork, poultry, lamb, goat, game, and offal—in preparations like roasting, grilling, smoking, broiling, braising, and stewing. Hearty big flavors abound in recipes such as Double-Trouble Meatloaf and Coriander & Orange Roasted Chicken, both perfect for weeknights with family; or Smoked Pork Butt with Habanero Glaze and a garlicky, irresistible Porchetta, which could feed a crowd. For game night, try Ribs with Cleveland BBQ sauce, Venison Sloppy Joes, or Pheasant Chili Austin-Style. Pull out all the stops for special occasions with recipes for Grilled Lamb Chops with Lavender Salt or a classic prime rib. Fantastic seasonal sides—including Peach and Blue Cheese Salad, Horseradish Beets, Sicilian Cauliflower, and Spicy Fried Potatoes—round out any meal.

With 75 color photographs, “cook it right” tip boxes for each cut of meat, and an author whose passion and unabashed fondness for his favorite ingredients show on every page, MICHAEL SYMON’S CARNIVORE is a love letter to fellow meat eaters everywhere.
