A must for those with a taste for culinary adventure, The Flogging a Dead Horse Cookbook: The Definitive World of Horsemeat contains a wealth of delicious horsemeat recipes from around the world. Not only will it tell you how to cook the perfect Sauerbraten, Veronese horse stew or simple yet tasty and nutritious fillet steak, it also provides a fascinating insight into the historic and modern attitudes towards eating horse. Flogging a Dead Horse, an underground and secret culinary society in London, was serving horsemeat at pop-up events in London long before it hit the headlines in the Guardian and Daily Mail during the 'Horsegate' scandal that shocked the country to its core. During the course of extensive research for the events, the underground London horsemeat movement not only discovered a wealth of delicious recipes, but also the fascinating history of the controversial meat that was in a rapid and increasing demand by adventurous diners. As it turns out, horsemeat is both revered and reviled around the world - you can get horse sushi in Japan, horse stew in Italy - but a horrified look from most waiters in the UK. Humans have always had a tempestuous relationship with the idea of eating horse and The Flogging a Dead Horse Cookbook: The Definitive World of Horsemeat explains the historical and cultural reasons behind our mixed reactions as well as highlighting the diverse and delicious ways in which horsemeat now plays a part in many national cuisines. The Flogging a Dead Horse Cookbook: The Definitive Look at the World of Horsemeat is not only a cookbook and historical reference guide to the wonderful and controversial world of horse meat.
