My favorite cookbook is “The Complete Meat Cookbook”..
Here are my reasons:

1. It contains not only delectable recipes, but also colorful cooking stories
2. The recipes are delicious – I have tried half a dozen ..such as carnitas and pork arista — mmm good
3. Focus on dry rubs and marinades is extensive
4. It has many facets; it covers broiling, stir-frying, pan-broiling, sauteing, panfrying, grilling, barbecuing, oven roasting, braising and stewing, wet basting, poaching, steaming, and pressure cooking.

Written by Bruce Aidells, who is an excellent chef it may be found here –> The Complete Meat Cookbook
