"A surprisingly beautiful cookbook … full of information on which fats come from which parts of animals, how to render them at home (or where to buy them) and how to store and use them properly.

And the recipes themselves will have readers salivating, including Onion Confit and Chorizo-Cheese Empanadas; Curried Beef Pasties in the savory section; and Amish Potato Buns, Jelly Doughnuts and Blueberry Galette in the sweets. Any home cook wanting to avoid processed oils, as well as anyone hoping for more tender baked goods and tasty main dishes, is sure to enjoy The Fat Kitchen." — Jessica Howard, bookseller at Bookmans, Tucson, Arizona
