Homemade Sausage: Recipes and Techniques to Grind, Stuff, and Twist Artisanal Sausage at Home

This is the PERFECT learn-how-to-do-it-yourself guide to everything SAUSAGE!! It is practical and instructive, giving you the education you need to master this skill from the outset. After researching other options, this was the only book that I felt deserved my attention (and my money), and I still to this day, believe I really lucked out buying the VERY BEST book on the FIRST try. (Included is a picture of our very first attempt and success from May 2020.)We have loved every recipe we have tried, and made them over and over again. You can tell by how messy some of our favorite pages are. We have even had caterers sample some of the sausage we've made from this book, and then pay US to make a giant batch for their OWN personal use!But, what is really special about the way these guys have presented their knowledge and experience is that we have been able to take their insights and create our own delicious recipes. (If I cared about publishing my own book, I'd definitely have to cut these guys in on the deal. That's how appreciative I am of their genius. Lol!)I would love to meet these guys some day and hear their stories in person and thank them face to face. But, until then I will just have to keep grinding away in their honor!!

For my birthday, my wife got me a meat grinder and sausage stuffer. I had been asking for one for quite a while, as I wanted to make some homemade, smoked sausages. Of course, I had no idea where to even begin, so she picked up this book for me as well. As of right now, Ive successfully made 2 large batches of absolutely delicious sausage. I think its a bit of a testament to how good this book is in that I didnt even mess up my first attempt. Thus far we have tried the italian sausage and the memphis BBQ sausage, and they were both absolutely delicious. We controlled the kind of meat that went into the sausage, and even then, it was less than half the price of store bought sausage.Love the recipes and advice given in this book.Update: I've made about 7 or 8 sausages from this book now and every single recipe is superb. Me and a buddy decided to have a rib cook off a while back and since there wouldn't be enough ribs to feed the whole crew I did a couple rolls of the brats from this book. Everyone there agreed that the brats absolutely stole the show. I'm no slouch when it comes to ribs, so that's a true testament to how good these recipes are. And minus breaking one casing due to over stuffing, every one has been perfect. Still a go to every time I make sausage.

Great book of instructions, advice and recipes for the beginner or longtime makers of homemade sausages. I recommend it highly for the recipes alone that are a great collection of ideas for all sausage makers.

I got this because my kids and I wanted to learn how to make our own sausage and we recently got a stand mixer that has a meat grinder attachment. The recipes look fun and easy, making me excited to try. My only complaint would be that the only guidance on meat selection is the more obvious kind like freshness, not buying too lean, and whatnot. I didn't see anything that covers what cut of meat might work better for a particular type of sausage or for sausage in general. The meat part of the ingredients just says something along the lines of 5 lbs of pork. But I would assume that I'd get different results using pork loin than I would using pork chops. Meat is rather expensive to buy for trial and error, so I plan on doing some more research before trying the recipes.

This is a good book for people that want to make their own sausages good explanation of ingredients pictures and a good idea of the two gentlemen who created this company and these recipes please do not hesitate to purchase this book you will not be disappointed

The cookbook was partially ripped but it didn’t look like it would continue and I really needed the recipes. They are wonderful!! Great recipes and made Sweet and Spicy Italian and Memphis spicy sausages. Superb!!! The text is a little light and somewhat difficult to read. The text needs to be darker ink. The cookbook partially being ripped and the text being light should not deter anyone from buying this cookbook. Despite the MINOR problems IT IS WELL WORTH IT!! Excellent!!!!

Fabulous book with great information and wonderful photos. This book is fun to read even if you never have plans to make any sausages. The writing is clear, with injections of humor and wit that make it more interesting to read. Who knew there was so much to sausage making?!?! There are lots of recipes as well as clear instructions on how to make your own links. The book is well laid out and easy to understand with a glance at the table of contents. Photos further help to instruct on the process through out. As much of a pleasure to look at as it is to read!

If all this book contained was recipes for the bacon jalapeño brats and the Memphis sausage, it would have STILL been worth twice the price. Unbelievably delicious!These are our very first attempts at sausage making- the very first was super all over the place for sizes but by the time we got to brats 2 days later, we were more consistent!

We have made three recipes from this book so far, and each was flavourful. The recipes are easy to follow, and with the small batch concept we are done in less than 2 hours! Excellent book, we've already bookmarked our next batch!

Me gusto mucho este libro buena opci.on para iniciar en esto...

Good book and happy with the recipes.

Love the book it is very informative and easy to follow.

Pra quem busca um conteúdo mais aprofundado não recomendo.O livro tecnicamente é bem simples, o foco fica nas receitas que são bem detalhadas com fotos em excelente resolução.
