The River Cottage Meat Book is fantastic. Beautiful pictures, and a nice balance between technique, recipes, and philosophy. Great book to leave on the coffee table when vegetarians are coming over to visit.

Buford also reviews the Au Pied de Cochon cookbook, and "Pork & Sons" by a butcher who hails from a long line of butchers.
