That's alot of information your asking for, Sage. There are thousands of ways to cook different types of cuts, so it may be benificial to buy a book if you really want to know. When cooking any kind of meat you are unfamiliar with, its good to start out by carefully following a couple recipes. After some trial and error, you'll be as good a cook with them as you are with chicken. Experience is
the best teacher in cooking, aside from a cooking teacher.
A few things I've learned:
Pork tends to get very dry through conventional methods of cooking meat.
Lamb/viel is fantastic to cook with, and delicious.
Don't buy fish if it smells too much like fish.
Searing the outside of a red meat helps lock in its juices.
Always allow the red meat to rest a few minutes before cutting it.
You don't have to buy his dvd sets, just buy his book. Its $19.95, and seems to have just as much information (plus its written down).
Hope this helps.
Goodluck
