TOP REVIEWS FROM THE MEAT WE EAT
great course. really gained some knowledge about meat science . and motivated me to cook.
Very comprehensive and resourceful in terms of content. Vey happy with this course.
Excellent!!! I will contact Mr Karr for future PhD projects ...
The class is 5 years old and it seems dated and some of the stats they quoted were from 2000. It needs a refresh but over all the class is quite informative.
