I love sausage of any shape or kind. On a recent trip to Botswana I had a ball trying all different kinds of sausages. I loved the boerewors, so was thrilled to find a recipe for it in this book!! My husband loves mortadella, which is also included!! From andouille to chorizo, braunschweiger to Sai Krok Isan (Thai sour sausage), you can find it all here–and we haven’t even moved on from the pork section yet!! There is also sections for Beef, Lamb and Veal Sausages, Combination Sausages, Game Sausages, Poultry Sausages, Seafood Sausages and, yes, there is even Vegetarian Sausages!
Part three (part one is Sausage 101 and Essential Techniques) is all about cooking with sausages. Sausage for Breakfast or Brunch, Sausage Starters and Sausage for Lunch or Dinner. I think the book is worth it for the history and recipes even if you’re not planning on making your own sausages!! Try a Sausage and Pepper Quiche, Toad-in-the-Hole, Scotch Quail Eggs, Mini Corn Dogs and more. There are also recipes for Essential Sidekicks such as pickles, chutneys, sauces and more.
Lunch and Dinner recipes are even better with pizza recipes (Sausage, Ricotta and Fennel as well as Greek Pizza), Sausage-Filled Piroshki, Chicken and Sausage Cacciatore, Chicken Sausage Tandoori and so much more.
This is a great cookbook for sausage lovers everywhere. There’s something for everyone–from the person who just wants to cook with great sausage to the one who wants to be in there from the beginning, creating their own masterpieces and even the vegetarian that doesn’t want to give up sausage, you can find it all here.
I received a copy of this cookbook from Storey Publishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
