The ultimate comfort food book. Sausages with mash
is just the tip of the iceberg. This is sausages with everything:
all kinds of deliciously indulgent carbs, from pasta to panini and
rice to beans. Myriad mashes and a selection of great gravies set
the ball rolling; but the sausage is a far more versatile and sexy
ingredient than this classic combo alone. This is the amazing sausage
in all its forms – from humble banger to fiery Merguez, Cumberland
ring to homemade pork-and-herb patties, puddings black and white.
Partnering pak choi, couscous, Puy lentils; crowning pizza, rice and
spaghetti, packing pies and giving punch to chilli. There’s
room also for a host of fun feast ideas, from sausage croissants and
mini toad-in-the-holes to hot dogs, kebabs and honey-glazed sausages
on sticks, and a range of great sauces, salsas and accompaniments.
Sumptuous photography from Glenfiddich-award-winning photographer
Georgia Glynn-Smith, with more than 30 fantastic, full-colour photographed
dishes to complement this fantastic range of sausage-centred recipes.

I will issue a warning about this book: read alone,
as slavering is not pretty. And unless you do so when utterly replete,
your drooling will result in a dash to the butcher's shop to buy a
pack of their best bangers. Scotland on Sunday
