Whether roasted, braised, or grilled, turned into soups, salads, croquettes, or stews, meat and potatoes are the stuff of endless possibilities. Joan Schwartz, author of Macaroni and Cheese, brings us Meat and Potatoes, a new collection of outstanding recipes from celebrated chefs across the country, including Michael Anthony and Dan Barber, Bobby Flay, Anita Lo, and Nora Pouillon. These chefs work their magic with beef, lamb, veal, and pork in combination with a variety of both white and sweet potatoes. The results are dishes that can be hot or cold, spicy or mild, sentimental or cutting-edge.

Meat and Potatoes takes us from simple preparations such as Grilled Rosemary-Marinated New York Strip Steak with Potato Gratin to such eye-opening creations as Slow-Braised Veal and Vanilla Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie, Bomboa’s Braised Short Ribs with Mashed Boniatos and Gingered Baby Bok Choy, and Indian-Spiced Rack of Lamb with Potato Tikki and Mint Yogurt.

With the renaissance of comfort food in full swing, Meat and Potatoes is a must-have cookbook and an ideal gift for cooks of all levels.
