Creative Sausage Making

"Creative Sausage Making" is written for individuals who want to produce top-quality sausages and create their own professionally composed recipes. They won't need to follow recipes; they will be able to develop them at will. Reading this book will save readers hours, if not years, of time-consuming research and experimentation, and will improve their sausage-making skills. What makes this book different is that it not only covers the manufacturing of various types of sausages but also includes information on the latest innovations adopted by the food industry, such as natural gums, known as hydrocolloids, protein emulsions, and colorants, which are unfamiliar to most hobbyists.
