Actually want to learn how the sausage is made? This class is for you.
By the end of this course, you will learn how to make excellent fresh sausage at home from start to finish.
This class walks you through the basic steps of sausage making. Along the way, I cover the necessary and recommended equipment for sausage making and share the best practices I've learned over the years. 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.
