  The founders and award-winning distillers of Kings County Distillery follow their successful Guide to Urban Moonshining with an extensive history of the figures who distilled American spirits.  Dead Distillers is a spirited portrait of the unusual and storied origins of forgotten drunkenness.   The book presents fifty fascinating—and sometimes morbid—biographies from this historic trade’s bygone days, including farmers, scientists, oligarchs, criminals, and the occasional US president. Readers may be surprised to find the names George Washington, Henry Frick, or Andrew Mellon alongside the usual suspects long associated with booze—Jasper “Jack” Daniel, Jim Beam, and Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle. From the Whiskey Rebellion to Prohibition to the recent revival of craft spirits, the history of whiskey, moonshine, and other spirits remains an important part of Americana. Featuring historical photos, infographics, walking-tour maps, and noteworthy vintage newspaper clippings, Dead Distillers is a rich visual and textual reference to a key piece of American history.

  “Leigh will teach you how to raise animals, butcher them, and cook and cure their meat. Even better, she explains what it means and why it matters.” —Mark Essig, author of Lesser Beasts 
   
  Nutrition, environmental impact, ethics, sustainability—it seems like there’s no end to the food factors we must consider. At the center of the dietary storm is animal-based agriculture. Was your beef factory farmed or pasture-raised? Did your chicken free range, or was it raised in a battery cage? Have you, in short, met your meat? 
   
  Most efforts to unravel the complexities of the production and consumption of animals tend to pit meat eaters and vegetarians against each other. 
   
  In this second edition of The Ethical Meat Handbook, Meredith Leigh argues that by assuming responsibility for the food on our fork and the route by which it gets there, animals can be an optimal source of food, fiber, and environmental management. This new edition covers:Integrating animals into your garden or homesteadStep-by-step color photos for beef, pork, lamb, and poultry butchery100+ recipes for whole-animal cookingCulinary highlights: preparing difficult cuts, sauces, and extrasCharcuterie, including history, general science, principles, and tooling upThe economics and parameters for responsible meat production 
   
  Eating diversely may be the most revolutionary action we can take to ensure the sustainability of our food system. The Ethical Meat Handbook, 2nd Edition challenges us to take a hard look at our dietary choices, increase self-reliance, and enjoy delicious food that benefits our health and our planet. 
   
  “A powerful, positive book about a powerful, positive alternative, engaging us in shaping a new food and agriculture narrative.” —Jean-Martin Fortier, author of The Market Gardener

  2 of 2 Irish Stew 
  Step-by-step audio instruction while you cook like a professional. 
  Elaine McFerran, our Irish Chef, will be talking you through how to prepare a traditional Irish stew for four people. If you are only cooking for two why not cook for four and freeze some for a later meal. 
  If you don’t feel too confident in your cooking abilities don’t stress! Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and listen through the whole process before you begin. Don’t forget you can pause and rewind Elaine as many times as you need. Cooking should be fun so don’t worry too much. Assuming you download this audio to your mobile phone you can take Elaine with you as you walk around the kitchen and when you shop for groceries. 
  Just so you know what to expect here’s the sequence; first Elaine will be explaining what ingredients you will need for this dish, followed by the equipment you’ll need to gather together before you begin. Then she’ll run through the stages of preparation and cooking. 
  Once you’ve got your ingredients and equipment together, it should take you about one hour to make the stew, but don’t worry, a significant amount of this time won’t include preparation, but will just be cooking time with the stew bubbling away to itself slowly. Work back about one hour and 20 minutes from the time you will serve the meal to your family and friends. 
  You can find the list of ingredients and equipment mentioned in the recording also on the Mindcool website: https://www.mindcool.com/pages/irish-stew-ingredients-and-equipment
