Course Overview

Students will make and take home a selection of sausage of their choosing from a list of about ten varieties. These will be fresh, non-smoked, non-cured sausages like bratwurst, breakfast sausage, Moroccan, Polish, Italian, Chorizo, and more. Sausage meats include pork, chicken, beef, and if students choose, a small amount of wild game brought from home (e.g. venison). Learn how to grind, season (using no preservatives), stuff, cook, serve, and eat the best sausages in the world–taking home about 25 pounds of fresh sausage! Homemade, handmade, fresh from the kitchen—it doesn't get any better than this.

Youth ages 14+ may register if accompanied by an adult. A 25% tuition discount applies to the youth registrant when accompanied by an adult; call to register.

Materials fee of approximately $125 payable to the instructor during class. Please bring cash or check.
