"The Niman Ranch Cookbook" traces the transformation of a modest family endeavour into a respected nationwide model of sustainable farming - one that is supported by more than 500 independent family farmers raising livestock according to Niman Ranch's strict animal husbandry protocols. Focusing on beef, pork, and lamb (with illustrated meat charts describing all majors cuts), the book introduces us to the Niman ranchers, their well-cared-for animals, and a fast-disappearing - but ultimately essential - way of living, eating and doing business.
A pre-eminent spokesperson for quality meat in America, Bill Niman is a cattle rancher and founder and chairman of Niman Ranch, Inc., lives in Bolinas, California. Janet Fletcher is a staff food writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and the author of many books on food and wine. She lives in Napa Valley, California.
