My lovely friend @rajivsurendra sent this photo to me from his new hometown of NYC. I miss him, I miss travelling, and I'm going to miss a lot of my family this holiday season. We're all in this boat, but I think we can see a bit of land in the distance. Birds are starting to appear in the sky. ...and hot damn this man is gorgeous. #butchers #chefs #mathletes #keving

Hi everyone! My first cookbook "Cooking Meat" has been out for a couple of weeks now and the response has been fantastic! Thank you to everyone who has bought a book, and for all of your kind words! To celebrate the release of Cooking Meat, I am hosting a virtual launch party on Friday, November 20th at 7:30pm. There will be three levels of tickets available on our website (all tickets include a zoom link to join in the conversation):... Level 1 (50 tickets available) $90 Three course dinner for two including: Chicken Liver Parfait, with cornichons and Blackbird Baguette Sanagan's Cassoulet, ready to bake Apple, Cranberry, and Walnut Crumble with Creme Fraiche 1 autographed copy of Cooking Meat Level 2 (50 tickets available) $40 1 autographed copy of Cooking Meat Level 3 (200 tickets available) Free! Free admission to the virtual event Please head to our website at https://sanagansmeatlocker.com//produc/virtual-book-launch to buy your ticket today! Take a look at what my publisher, Appetite Books, has to say about this project: Peter Sanagan chef by training, butcher by trade, has cooked just about every cut of meat available. As the owner and operator of Sanagan's Meat Locker, the acclaimed butcher shops in Toronto, Ontario, he oversees a dedicated team that specialize in high quality meats and poultry from small, local family farms. After years of working as a chef, he decided to open an establishment that could offer the same kind of exceptional produce he had been cooking with in restaurants. His shops provide excellent cuts of meat, artisanal grocery products, housemade charcuterie, and delicious prepared foods. In his debut book, Cooking Meat (2020), Peter has created a meat-lover's guide to everything there is to know about meat. From information on sustainable, responsible farming to understanding the different cuts of meats for sale (and what their labels really mean), Cooking Meat is an insider's look at choosing, buying, prepping, cutting, and cooking meat.

Winter is coming. #potaufeu #depechemode #allfrenchhashtags

Eight more days. Very thankful to everyone who brought this project to light. In other news of gratitude, I'm especially thankful to my team for crushing one of the strangest holiday weekends we've ever had at the shop. We're resting (read closed) today, and we'll see you all tomorrow. #butchers #chefs #CookingMeatBook

If you know you know. Coming soon to the shelves of the Kensington shop. Mustard milled in Burgundy with Burgundy mustard seeds and Burgundy wine, this is an extra hot and delicious representation of the terroir around Dijon, France. I couldn't find it anywhere else in Canada, so I worked with Christel @douce.france to bring some in. If you haven't been to @douce.france yet in Toronto, do yourself a favour and have a visit. They have some of the most unique and delicious French products, chocolates, and pastries. Right now the mustard is in the back of my car. Soon it will be in your pantry. #mustard #dijon #burgundy #chefs #butchers #delicious
