Cooking with Sausages

You can’t help but smile at the mention of a sausage – they’ve got a funny name, they’re comical in nature, they’re versatile, delicious, and affordable – but most of all they’re about to have their moment.

This is Max’s ultimate guide to cooking with sausages. It’s not just British Classics for bangers and mash, toad in the hole, battered sausages, pigs in blankets, casseroles (you really could go on), it’s a universal celebration of sausages from all over the world.

There are recipes for sausages freed from their skins; from comforting ragus to spiced kofte, and zingy larb with Thai herbs, as well as inspiration for how to use up chorizo, embrace the humble hot dog, or cook up a cassoulet.

Cooking techniques will be explored and explained from cooking low and slow to hot and fast – in the oven, on the grill, or al fresco.

Peppered with anecdotes on its history, this a joyful celebration of the humble sausage and its magnificent versatility – the perfect gift for sausage lovers (and every student) out there.Max Halley is a Sunday Times bestselling author, writer, broadcaster, and the owner of Max's Sandwich Shop (winner of the Observer Food Monthly Award for Best Cheap Eat in 2015).
