Summary:

With its stunning food photography and exquisitely wrought recipes, Charlie Trotter's groundbreaking cookbook series is a magnum opus, the definitive statement from a culinary master. In the series' fifth installment, Charlie Trotter's Meat & Game, the chef boldly reinterprets how an array of cuts are paired, prepared, and plated. Exotic meats like pheasant, duck, wild boar, and venison take their place alongside everversatile lamb, pork, and chicken; and such robust fare is the ultimate platform for Trotter's synthesis of French technique, Asian minimalism, and improvisational verve.

Start off with a classic refigured -- Dairyless Garlic Soup with Smoked Poulard, Eggplant, Fennel Confit, and Fennel Emulsion -- and then segue to a study in color, texture, and aroma with the Black Chicken with Its Liver, White Corn Grits, Crispy Pancetta, and Hen of the Woods Mushrooms. Introduce pleasant hits of spice with a Cumin-Coriander-Scented Lamb Tenderloin, tempered by the cool, tangy finish of a Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce; and experience the incomparable flavor of Matsuzaka Beef with Burmese Red Rice, Porcini Mushrooms, and Mushroom Puree.

The full-color photography of Tim Turner and Michael Voltattorni beautifully renders Trotter's creations and the bounty of the natural world from which they draw. Extensive wine notes play off the flavors of each dish, bringing them into brilliant resolve with inspired pairings from around the globe. In all its facets, Charlie Trotter's Meat & Game celebrates the abundance of farm, field, and forest.
