Fun with Meat: the Carnivore's Cookbook

Publisher Marketing: It has been theorized that human's switching from a vegetarian diet to a meat-occasional diet was responsible for the relatively rapid growth of their brains. That larger brain allowed them to outsmart their prey and avoid dangers. In addition it reduced the need for having a large gut, which was required to process difficult-to-digest foodstuffs. This high-fat regimen also gave them the means to ascend to the top of the food chain by running down large prey that had more speed but less endurance, due to their diets. Today, most of us consider beef to be a special treat that is available nearly everywhere. While legumes are a reasonable substitute for the meat protein that is lacking in vegetarian dishes, they may not be as satisfying to all. And no, I am not sponsored by the meat industry. Over time I have accumulated a number of recipes that are conducive to being prepared in a single vessel, and I have reworked others to fit into this pattern. The result of this is a cookbook that simplifies the preparation times and reduces the arduous and annoying cleanup to (usually) a single pot or pan, and possibly a serving dish. While these recipes may occasionally stretch the word classic, we are not talking about hotdogs embedded with cheese and covered with chili. A number of appetizers, salads, dressings, dips, and sauces have been included with the meat recipes in order to round out the menu. Contributor Bio:  Koehler, Kip ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kip Koehler Kip, though retired, is still an active author, construction consultant, and computer systems engineer. He and his wife Cheri, moved to Prescott AZ in 2002 where they built their custom home. Its highly creative design was subsequently highlighted in the local paper. The home's most unusual features are its "wine cave" and a "New Orleans" rooms. While they both love Prescott and their new friends, they do miss the California ocean, and try to return regularly for a seaside fix. As Cheri puts it: "There is no ocean in Arizona." Kip's computer background dates back to working for IBM in the late 60's. He purchased one of the first PCs off of the production line about 1980, and has been addicted to them ever since. Eventually as a consultant he developed financial software for IBM's clients and then for national sales. Fortunately for Cheri today, he can fix her computer problems rather quickly. Cooking has been a long standing interest with Kip, as reflected in his wide variety of cookbooks. Being somewhat unwilling to do excess work, they mirror that disposition in recipes that focus on easy cooking and clean-up. Another of Kip's interests is the nature of nature, both scientific and metaphysical. This curiosity is reflected in several of the book offerings. The books and booklets can be purchased for Kindle and Nook readers at amazon.com and other sites. The 6x9 inch paperback format of the books are available at createspace.com.
