Jody Maroni Sausage Cookbook

Over the past fifteen years, Jody Maroni's sausage stand in Venice Beach, California has become legendary for high-quality, reduced-fat, gourmet sausages created by a man who genuinely loves to feed people. Jody offers haute cuisine in a casing and passionately strives to prove that sausage is gourmet food for the common man.

Every creation from this book, whether it's a simple grilled "haut dog" or an elegant Salad Niçoise with All-Chicken Bistro Sausage, is irresistible, emphasizing freshness, flavor, and above all a healthier approach to cooking. His sausages are long on flavor and short on fat-- and so are the recipes. The results, as confirmed by the book's mouth-watering photographs, are fantastic.

Jody Maroni's Sausage Kingdom Cookbook is filled with instructions on preparing such sausage accompaniments as salsa, relish, and potato and grain dishes, as well as pasta, pizza, salads, and light main dishes such as paella-- not to mention information on camping and Fourth of July picnics. There is also a guide to the latest microbrew beers to pair with your sausages, written by one of the world's leading authorities on beer, Michael Jackson. The book even expertly guides readers through the process of making sausages at home. This is a truly indispensable book for the backyard grillmeister and the gourmet cook alike.
