Understanding meat from farm to fork

The comprehensive standard work for conscious meat enjoyment

Ludwig Maurer's "Fleisch Codex" (Meat Codex) is far more than a cookbook. It is an homage to the animal, a plea for respect in meat consumption, and your comprehensive guide to responsible enjoyment. With well-founded expert knowledge, personal recipes, and contributions from experts, this book provides everything meat lovers want – and should – know.

Holistic meat expertise from rearing to preparation

Ludwig Maurer is not only a chef but also a breeder, butcher, and visionary. His knowledge of meat as a food product doesn't just begin in the kitchen but with the species-appropriate keeping and feeding of animals. In "Fleisch Codex," he conveys this philosophy understandably and deeply – with many practical tips for conscious gourmets. In addition to traditional family recipes, you will also find modern creations that show how versatile meat can be used in the kitchen: sustainably, high-quality, and surprisingly simple.

Expert knowledge enhanced

Contributions from experts such as Dr. Benjamin Junck, Florian Knecht, and Ronny Paulusch make the "Fleisch Codex" a reference work for anyone who wants to combine meat with responsibility and enjoyment.

Who is this book for?

The "Fleisch Codex" is ideal for you if sustainable meat consumption and animal welfare are important to you, if you want to combine quality, respect, and taste when cooking, or if you appreciate both everyday cooking and fine dining with meat. Also, if you want to develop a deep understanding of meat processing and preparation or are looking for a high-quality gift for meat lovers, hobby cooks, and professionals – this book is made for you.

A classic for everyone who wants to fundamentally rethink and optimize their relationship with meat.
