Product Description
by Stanley Marianski (Author)
"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.
There is a trend towards producing healthier sausages with reduced salt, cholesterol, fat, and calories. Fillers such as bread, grains, and tofu, as well as ingredients like cheese, nuts, and fruits, are accepted today. However, binding those ingredients together presents a challenge, especially for vegetarian sausages, which do not include meat. There is a vast number of ingredients, such as binders, fillers, natural gums, curing accelerators, colorants, fat replacers, and others, that the food industry has used to make ice creams, puddings, sauces, and processed meats. However, there is a lack of information for a hobbyist, and we hope that this book will fill that void.
The book provides all the necessary advice and tips to become a proficient and competent sausage maker. There is a collection of 121 known recipes chosen for their originality and historical value. They are a great source of study material and a valuable reference for making sausages. After reading this book, readers should be able to create their recipes, alter classic recipes to suit their taste, or develop healthier versions with fewer calories and less fat. He should also realize that if he follows a few basic rules, he can produce great sausages custom-tailored to his preferences.
