MY THOUGHTS

I received a copy of The Complete Guide To Sausage Making. Chapters include All About Sausage, Tools And Materials, Food Safety, Sausage Basics, Smoking And Cooking Sausages, Fresh Sausage, Dry Semidry And Hard Sausages, Cooked Sausages, and Specialty Sausages. The history of sausage explains the background of different sausages. Tools And Materials covers popular equipment options for making your own sausage. I had no idea there were so many different products available on the market for this! Sausage Basics gets into what you put into your sausage and why. The remaining chapters get into the different ways to make sausages and include recipes. Recipes are well written and easy to understand. They call for regular ingredients that you have or can easily get. At the end of each recipe is packaging and storage suggestions. What I really like is that this book includes lots of pictures, in many instances one or more per page, illustrating the steps you need to take or what something should look like. If you’re a sausage fan, a meat lover, cookbook collector, or someone who wants to try something new, this book is for you!

WIN IT!
