We will make two recipes during this course, though this class gives you the foundations upon which you can build countless varieties of fresh sausages on your own.
Though I use some specialized equipment in this class—namely, a grinder and a sausage stuffer—I also cover how you can make excellent sausages with a food processor or even a chef’s knife (and some patience). If and when you are interested in gearing up for sausage making, I do share some buying tips and recommendations.
