Give a familiar recipe your own twist

Begin with a modest test batch. Cook a sample, adjust the seasoning and record the changes so you can make it again.

In their own words

From other home sausage makers.

I like your friendly and honest manner. The production of the different types was interesting and worth seeing. I now have more desire to develop my own creations.

Hartmut G.NEUMARKT, Germany

I am super satisfied with the content. I think the course is good for both beginners and professionals. I've been making sausage myself for 3 years and also found some new info.

Albright K.Springfield, Missouri (US)

Very comprehensive and well explained! A great course if you want to make your own sausages! I now also trust myself to adapt each recipe and can immediately identify "faulty" recipes. Strongly recommended!
