Between the title and the photo on this cover, I couldn’t wait to review this book and try out some recipes! I’m a meat & potatoes kinda girl, so this was right up my alley! In Falling Off the Bone, Jean Anderson shows how to use slow-cooking methods like braising, pot-roasting, and simmering, to produce amazing flavors with the most common and affordable cuts of meat. The beautiful photos throughout the book will make you eager to get in the kitchen! The soup and stews are especially nice for this cold time of year.
This book is divided into 4 chapters - beef, veal, lamb, and pork. Each chapter has anatomical drawings so you’ll know exactly where the tough cuts of meat are located. The author teaches how to master the techniques of braising, slow-cooking, and stewing so that the meat will be so tender it barely needs a fork.
We love ribs in the Doiron house, so that’s what I tried first! I made Ribs Lanai-Style with Pineapple (on page 195). Here’s my photo. This meat really did fall off the bone! The meat was perfectly tender! If you ever have a Luau party, this would be a great main dish!
If you’re looking for some great new meat recipes, I highly recommend this cookbook. I have bookmarked many recipes to try in the new year!

About Jane Doiron
You know, I just recently began my quest of perfecting steak! It is SOOO not foolproof! I made an awesome Flank steak 2 days ago, though. I think my favorite would still have to be Bacon wrapped Meatloaf. It is easy, my family loves it and FOOLPROOF!

My favorite meat dishes are fried chicken and smothered pork chops. I really love any smothered dish but I love a tender juicy pork chop. As for the chicken what can I say I am a lover of fried chicken so when someone says they are fixing some and offer me some they know to come correct because I am what is considered a conissuer.
i like sweet n sour chicken

My favorite meat dish of late seems to be pulled pork with a zesty BBQ sauce. I especially like it on a good fresh roll with a slice of cheddar melted with it.
