Sausage: Recipes for Making and Cooking with Homemade Sausage [A Cookbook]

by Victoria Wise

Think Beyond the Link 
 
You don’t have to be an expert cook or have a fancy kitchen to make sausage at home. If you simply think beyond the link, you’ll find a whole world of sausage possibilities. Patties, meatballs, fish balls, veg balls, meat loaf—these are all sausages without casings that are every bit as savory and satisfying as their linked cousins. And, since they do not require special equipment, they are a snap to make at home.
 
In Sausage , Victoria Wise shares more than 75 recipes for easy-to-make, no-casing-required pork, beef, lamb, poultry, seafood, and even vegetarian sausages, including innovative recipes that turn them into sophisticated meals. An inviting and wonderfully diverse collection from all around the globe, this compendium features European classics, American mainstays, Asian favorites, Middle Eastern inspirations, and sausages African in origin. You will find dishes for every meal and occasion, such as Rustic Cornmeal Pancakes Dappled with American Breakfast Sausage and Slicked with Maple Syrup; Lunch Pie, aka Quiche, with Toulouse Sausage and Spinach; Vietnamese-Style Beef Sausage and Vegetable Spring Rolls with Mint Dipping Sauce; and Merguez and Apple Tagine over Couscous with Harissa. For those who like their sausage in traditional links, Wise offers expert direction for stuffing sausage into casings.
 
Beautifully written and photographed, Sausage is the only book of its kind. Its array of inventive sausages and sausage-centric dishes are inspiration for both the new and the well-seasoned cook. Making sausage at home has never been so easy—nor the results so delicious.

I didn’t finish reading this book. I was irritated from the beginning that the recipes use already ground meat from the store. One of the big reasons for making my own sausage is to know what is going in the meat. I wanted advice on the best cuts to use and ratios and tips on stuffing casings. This book does not offer that. I was also hoping for more sausage recipes than recipes to use the sausages in. Although some recipes did look good I didn’t make any. There are plenty of good recipes on the internet that I only want to “cook with love” not start with bad vibes at the beginning of the recipe.

Hamburgers are not sausages.

For some of the more exotic type of sausages, it's nice to know that you don't really need a well stocked spice rack.

There are some interesting recipes on how to cook with sausage. I feel that more varions should for making sausage. For example, the recipe to make Polish sausage is no wheres near the formula that I learned growing up as a child of Polish descent. It would also have been nice to have some recipes for making sausage from game.

Recipes that do what a book should—make me want to cook them!

Making my own sausage is not something I had considered before, and I'm a fairly experienced home cook. With this book, it made me feel like something I would want to tackle and easily could.

Some really good recipes. A few that were meh. But, I still liked that there were new flavors. Chicken one was awesome ( and I hate chicken ).
