With the rise of the handcrafted food movement, food lovers are going crazy for the all-natural, uniquely flavored, handmade sausages they’re finding in butcher cases everywhere. At San Francisco’s 4505 Meats, butcher Ryan Farr takes the craft of sausage making to a whole new level with his fiery chorizo, maple-bacon breakfast links, smoky bratwurst, creamy boudin blanc, and best-ever all-natural hot dogs. Sausage Making is Farr’s master course for all skill levels, featuring an overview of tools and ingredients, step-by-step sausage-making instructions, more than 175 full-color technique photos, and fifty recipes for his favorite classic and contemporary links. This comprehensive, all-in-one manual welcomes a new generation of meat lovers and DIY enthusiasts to one of the most satisfying and tasty culinary crafts.

Editorial Reviews

"Ryan has been sharing his knowledge about whole animal butchery for years through 4505's farmers market stand, butchery classes, and his first book, Whole Beast Butchery. Now, with Sausage Making, he's taken it a step further and shows practical and delicious ways to use the most under-appreciated parts of the animal. The recipes for each sausage are paired with bold cross-section photos, a perfect way to visualize the ingredients and the sausage-making process." - David Chang, chef/owner of Momofuku

"What I love about Ryan Farr's new sausage book is the clear directions on how to make sausages accompanied with great 'how to' illustrations. Photos do such a better job showing you exactly what to look for when grinding, mixing and stuffing meat into casings. The recipes are laid out not only in cups and spoons but in grams and percentages which makes it very easy to scale up or down the recipes. This is the way to present recipes which makes Ryan's book not only useful for the home and restaurant cook but the professional sausage maker interested in making large batches." — Bruce Aidells, author, The Great Meat Cookbook

From the Publisher

07/01/2014
Farr (Whole Beast Butchery), chef and owner of 4505 Meats in San Francisco, and Battilana (senior editor, TastingTable.com) use precise instructions and step-by-step photographs to teach readers how to make sausages, condiments, buns, and classical French preparations, such as chicken and egg galantine, a whole deboned chicken stuffed with sausage, fava beans, and a hard-cooked egg. To prepare recipes like chorizo, Cajun boudin, and blood bologna, readers will need a meat grinder, food processor, and sausage stuffer. An instant-read thermometer, scale, vacuum sealer, and terrine mold are also helpful. Unlike Susan Mahnke Peery's Home Sausage Making, this guide does not contain additional recipes for cooking with sausage. VERDICT Recommended for seasoned home cooks who'd like to advance their technique and expand their repertoire.
