Sausages have a universal appeal and are loved by all generations. They are easy and fun to make and use easy to find equipment and ingredients making them an enjoyable introduction for children to join in with food preparation and they can be adapted to suit most tastes, from traditional and simple to hot and spicy. No wonder they are a popular buy at farmer's markets and farm shops. Aimed at the small-scale sausage maker who makes sausages for domestic or business use, this book explores the origins and development of the sausage and gives important guidance on the dos and don'ts of sausage making, tips and plenty of recipes, including age old traditional English ones, as well as step-by-step guides on knotting and presentation and it includes an excellent resource section.

Do not bother ordering
I have had this book on order from Amazon UK for four months. In that time, they were unable to source it. If you can get it somewhere else, do that instead,

Pure sausage heaven!
I bought this book after wanting to make my own sausages, buying all the equipment and then having no real guide to walk me through it. Finally, a funny, practical and interesting guide written by someone who has clearly enjoyed the rather comedic process of filling sausage casings! The lovely cover illustration suits exactly the tone of the book, and the interior images are extremely helpful. My only worry is that the pages are not wipe clean, as my copy is already rather dirty through reading whilst making sausages!
Incidentally, this book is worth buying for the dedication alone. Bon Appetit!
