I used to work part time in a butcher shop, and although I never cut any of the meat myself, I can tell that she is doing a horrendous job here! The poor piece of meat looks shredded at some parts and she doesn't know how to use that knife. I got the Cleavning book for X-mas, but this makes me feel quite unmotivated to read it!.

she has no skills; she also cheated on her husband. There is a reason Julia Child did NOT like her.

if you read the book cleavings you will discover that the author is a cold unfeeling self centered scum bag(literally) i cant believe the pain she put her husband through. it was not a valid process as she states if you are adult and care @ another person you dont do that to them. she is a good author but i feel sorry for her husband. show some spine man kick her to the curb no one deserves what she did to you for no apparent reason other than her self centered feelings.

"I think a lot of male butchers, the weekend warrior butchers, wanna... [puts on gruff voice] it's violent, I'm dominating this piece of meat, I'm killing it..."

Sexism.
