100 Home Cooked Easy To Follow Traditional Meals From Beginner To Winner The Butchers Way Learn to cook fine quality meats the butchers way.. The inspiration to create this book commenced with real-life butchery and good old customer service. At the time this book was produced, I had worked as a butcher for over 20years, starting out in Queens Gate Market Huddersfield in a shop called Quality Butchers. I worked with a fantastic high-class butcher Nigel Beecroft for over 8 years, and in that time, he taught me the skills and discipline needed to be a great butcher. I currently run my own business and manage a thriving Farm Shop, Robinson's farm shop, and kitchen. The core values I learned from Nigel go much further than simply how to cut meat but also how to respect it and express our shared passion to our customers, which I serve daily. I am mak- ing the foundation of my butchery career. Part of my training to be a butcher was learning how to cook. I didn't understand why at first, but imagine a mechanic that couldn't drive??? you have to understand the end result in order to put the pieces together; butchery is no different you have to know how to cook to know which cutting technique and which cuts to use. Frequently customers come to our meat counter and ask for help with cooking tips and recipe advice which myself and other staff are always enthusiastic about sharing. As the years have passed, many things have changed in the butchery industry, but the one constant thing is that people always ask for help with cooking tips and recipe advice. So hopefully, this book will give you confidence in the kitchen to have a go and the confidence to ask you, butcher.... We love it...
