The Irish Beef Book

Lovely book, well presented. Bit expensive for what it is..so took one star off. :-)

Good background of beef and some lovely recipes, nicely packaged and photographed. Managed several of the recipes and they have all worked well. Buy good beef!

a very good book an excellent edition to my cookery book shelf. a book i shall refer to over and over again. Many thanks pat whelan

The Irish Beef Book by master butcher Pat Whelan and journalist Katy McGuinness is truly a compendium of all things meat. This is actually Pat's second book and it details his love affair with meat. I found it to be elegant, respectful and deeply informative. It treats meat with reverence and is above all, an education. No longer will you have to opt for plastic supermarket trays of chicken, reading this will inspire you into buying forgotten cuts and creating memorable meals. This is a book that I will treasure.

Well printed: very informative: interesting recipes: if you do not know the foreign equivalents of our cuts of meat take this on holiday with you.
