This review is from: The Complete Venison Cookbook (Paperback)

A friend of mine was given this book and we prepared several sausage recipes for venison. The results were great. The sausage was exceptionally flavorful. I am ordering one book for myself and another as a gift for my brother inlaw. I have been looking for a well written, easy to follow cook book for a long time. The recipes were just the right size to try several of them out at a time. Believe me its not going to be just burger or steak from now on when we butcher our deer. This book has some of the best venison sausage recipes I have ever tried. I am looking forward to trying out this cook book for all occassions.
