About the author

Founded in 1922, the National Live Stock and Meat Board was a Chicago-based trade organization created to promote meat consumption and represent the interests of producers, packers, and related businesses. Over time, it became known for consumer education as much as advocacy, publishing a wide range of recipe collections, manuals, judging guides, and informational booklets.

Its publications were usually straightforward and useful, aimed at home cooks, students, retailers, and people working in the meat industry. Records and histories of the organization show that it also played a part in meat marketing campaigns, educational contests, and efforts to standardize the way meat was described and graded.

Because this is a corporate author, there is no single personal biography or portrait to provide. The name on the cover reflects the work of an organization whose books were designed to inform, persuade, and make meat preparation feel approachable to everyday readers.
