Step by step instructions
Have you ever prepared a side of beef for dry aging and, after the maturing period, expertly portioned it into manageable steaks using a bone saw and meat knife and then professionally vacuum-packed it? Made an original Italian pancetta from a large piece of pork belly? Sausaged and matured a perfect Hungarian salami yourself? Conjured up a buttery-soft dry-aged gravlax from a side of salmon? No problem with the Dry Aging Bible - countless step-by-step photos explain the most important tricks for handling refined foods and operating the DRY AGER ^® maturing cabinet, step by step.

Cooking recipes
The dry aging of beef, pork, game, lamb and poultry also opens new doors for the chef - whether he is cooking in a hobby kitchen or in a restaurant. Three top chefs from Germany have developed 30 brilliant recipes for the Dry Aging Bible: the cattle breeder, passionate chef and meat expert Ludwig "Lucki" Maurer, the Michelin-starred friend of classic French haute cuisine Harald Derfuß and the Berlin avant-garde chef Christoph Hauser show what is possible with beef, pork, lamb, game and even offal from the DRY AGER ^® aging cabinet. Illustrated with spectacular, appetizing food photos.

Science
Anyone who has ever eaten a dry-aged steak knows how perfect the result of this refinement tastes. The Dry Aging Bible now proves that this impression even stands up to scientific scrutiny. Two of Europe's most renowned meat researchers, Dr. Michael Podvinec from Basel in Switzerland and Prof. Dr. Ulrike Weiler from the University of Hohenheim, have studied dry aging. Their conclusion: From a scientific point of view, dry aging is by far the best method for refining meat to absolute perfection. You can read more about it in the science chapter of the Dry Aging Bible.
