dry for my taste) and the Portuguese linguica. The fresh linguica are made with Duroc pigs now. Franco said he shares 'em with Bruce Aidell who takes the bellies for bacon and he keeps the shoulders for sausage. Whatever the...

The Complete Meat Cookbook, by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelley is exactly that sort of cookbook. And the recipes are good as well.

This is loosely based on a Bruce Aidell recipe. These would be great for breakfast: Chicken and Apple Sausage Patties 2-3 tablespoons goose or duck fat, or olive oil 1 medium-small onion, finely diced 1 large or 2 small Granny Smith...

Hey you get what you pay for. Your best bet is to invest in “the complete meat cookbook” by Bruce Aidells and educate yourself about the various cuts. After that, find a Wholesale place by you. In Woodland hills you...

I very highly recommend Bruce Aidells' Complete Sausage Book. My husband, daughter and I took a sausage making class from Bruce at Ramekins in Sonoma, CA and were really impressed with his recipes. They are clearly written and...

Aidells was a lot more fat-friendly before Bruce Aidells sold the company. The new owners stopped making his great smoked duck sausages and reformulated / ruined his once-great chorizo. The andouille’s still good but...

I like the recipes in books by Bruce Aidells and Judy Rodgers. We use the Kitchenaid grinder pretty often and it is a lot of fun. Take instructions about chilling the grinder, meat, bowls, etc. seriously. It is nominally a food...

If they can travel a bit, Ramekins in Sonoma offers wonderful classes. I’ve taken a sausage making class with Bruce Aidells (sausage maker and cookbook writer,) a dim sum class with Joyce Jue (food writer and cookbook...

My husband, daughter and I are all taking a sausage making class (actually, they call it a “party”) from Bruce Aidells there next month (February 8.) I understand that we’ll each get to take some of the sausage...

My husband, daughter and I just recently took a sausage making class from Bruce Aidells — by the way, it was really excellent — the class was at Ramekins in Sonoma, CA. We used Kitchenaid machines with the meat...
