Start with Fatworks grass-fed tallow ($16) and Kerrygold butter ($28 for four packs). These two fats cover the majority of the recipes on this list. Add ghee if you plan to cook Indian dishes and lard if you plan to cook Mexican or Asian food. ### Are these recipes difficult? The difficulty ranges from easy (garlic butter shrimp, 15 minutes) to intermediate (birria tacos, 4 hours). The smash burgers and chicken thighs are beginner-appropriate and produce dramatic results on first attempt. ### Can I substitute the fats in these recipes? For most recipes, you can substitute within the ancestral fat group β€” tallow where ghee is called for, lard where butter is called for β€” with some flavour variation. Avoid substituting seed oils back in, which will produce inferior results at the required cooking temperatures.
