Meat Cookbook Recommendations

Being a vegetarian for 10 years and now eating meat again, I have been trying to search for books that would help me learn how to cook and shop for meat in a more morally conscience way. Through browsing at Modern Times Bookstore, I found Meat: Kitchen Education by James Peterson and The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, which more than fulfilled my intentions. The former includes great step-by-step pictures on how to cut different types of meat, from Poultry to Venison, and what to look for when buying meat and the latter covers this information as well, along with more details on the different sides of the meat industry and its impact on the way animals are treated and raised and, ultimately, how these processes may impact the environment, your conscience and taste buds.
