Book Description

June 1, 2003
The history of sausage making dates back to an obscure moment in time when early man discovered that his surplus meat lasted longer when it was chopped, mixed with a little raw natural salt to flavor it, and stored in the stomach or intestines of the animal. Since the discovery of sausage nearly 5,000 years ago, people from all over the world have been making sausage at home without the need for expensive equipment.
You may ask, why choose venison sausage instead of your regular pork or beef sausage? Harold Webster explains that making homemade venison sausage is safe, simple, and more economical. It provides a unique activity in which all members of your family can participate, and ultimately enjoy the fruits of their labor. All of the seasoning ingredients can be found in any supermarket, and you can have confidence in the meat's purity because it came from the woods.
THE VENISON SAUSAGE COOKBOOK provides step-by-step instructions to help you with selecting condiments, grinding, patty making, casing, stuffing, packaging, and storing your venison. In addition, you will find recipes for well over a hundred varieties of venison sausage, ranging from Mild and Easy Venison Sausage, to Syrian Venison Sausage Links with Red Wine and Pine Nuts, to Bratwurst Venison and Onion Sausage. If you're wondering what to serve with your delicious venison sausage, Webster also includes 195 of his best menus for all types of meals and occasions.



Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Webster expands on his first book, The Complete Venison Cookbook, in this specialized and exhaustive volume sure to please hunters and cooks who don't want any part of a deer to go to waste. Webster explains how to select the meat ("My first challenge was to balance the low-fat venison with a moist meat... my second challenge was to develop venison sausage recipes that would be easy to make at home"). He then lists the cuts of meat used (along with information on calories, fat and protein) and the equipment required, then lays out the procedure in a friendly, step-by-step fashion. Recipes for links, patties and bulk (think salami size) sausage include Louisiana-Style Boudin Bon Blanc, Smoke-Flavored Andouille Venison Sausage (perfect for a meal of Sweet Potato and Andouille Venison Sausage Soup), and several versions of Italian sausages, including Parmesan and Venison (which would go well in his recipe for Italian Venison Sausage with Peppers and Onions). Of course, for hearty winters, outdoors folk would do well to begin their day with the traditional Buttermilk Biscuits with Breakfast Venison Sausage Gravy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yum yum, eat 'em up!, February 16, 2007
This review is from: The Venison Sausage Cookbook: A Complete Guide, from Field to Table (Paperback)
I decided to start processing my own deer & I love venison sausage, so...I bought this book. Now I'm Mr. Sausage! Lots of recipes and plenty of information to get started even if you don't know anything about sausage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great flavors, February 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I really like this book, although it's not a perfect resource, it's impressive. Sometimes the instructions are not enough to make a successful sausage, but once you have the technique down, all you really need is the proportions for the spices. I would really recommend a book named Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman as a fabulous technique book; then Webster's recipe book is great on the seasonings for almost any sausage in the world. . . but made from venison. One huge drawback in this book is that there are absolutely no photographs except the one on the front cover. . . which leads me to wonder whether all the recipes have been made by the author in just one lifetime. Another problem is that many recipes are sized for massive amounts. . . not always suitable for the home cook, and I find myself constantly doing math to break it down. I don't want 15 pounds of anything! I'm still happy to have alot of these exotic recipes from other countries, which is what I enjoy. He draws from all over the world for the sausage recipes. . . which makes sense. Venison is not an odd meat. It was THE PRIMARY red meat of many people for a very long time. It is fabulous in sausages which you normally make beef out of. If you hunt or are married to a hunter, get this book; it will help you use venison in new ways. There really is no other venison sausage book out there at this time. Thanks Harold!

Deer season is past for this year but I read through the sausage book and it was very informative. I really like and look forward to trying some of them also.
