Product Description
Most books on sausage making are filled with unknown quality recipes, this book is different. It contains carefully compiled government recipes that were used by Polish meat plants between 1950-1990. Those recipes were not written by restaurant cooks or college students running web sites, but by the best professionals in the meat science industry the country had. The recipes presented in this book come from those government manuals and they were never published before. These are recipes and production processes of the authentic products that were made by Polish meat plants and sold to the public. Most of those sausages are still made and sold in Poland. The unique strength of the book lies in those detailed instructions and after reading the book the readers will understand how to make all types of sausages, select the best meats and apply cures, smoke products with cold or hot smoke, and create their own recipes without adding chemicals. ...

Great Book
Very well written and a very good guide for anyone that wants to cure meat or make sausage the authentic way.

A course in sausage making.
What separates this book from others is that it covers all types of meat products and sausages.
You have blood sausages, head cheeses and meat jellies, liver sausages, Kosher sausages, hams, jerky, and meat jellies, liver sausages, bacon, salami and other products. Not just the recipes
but the manufacturing process as well. All backed up with the governnment standarts and plenty of fotos and drawings.
Strong emphasis is placed on safety, I have especially linked the explanation of behavior of bacteria. The first part of the book deals with meat science but it is written insuch a simple and logical manner that it was a breeze.
The book is huge and at this price is a steal.

real deal
Very detailed, informative book on making sausage.Have not ever made any before, and still havent used my new 'sausage' making machine (COSTCO) but this is definately the book I will be using.
(I ordered 2 other books, as well- the Aidell sausage recipes are also exceptional- especially for those (like me) wanting to make chicken sausage. BUT for Polish style... this is the book.

A must for anyone working in environmental cleanup responses
I work for the Federal Government in the Oil Spill response funding field, and this book is a great reference.I particularly like how the book cites case law that helps me figure out how our regulations ended up being the way they are.

I also like that the book is pretty straight to the point on the topics it covers.If I remember well, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 was explained in 100 pages or less.Some of you may think this is a lot, but it isnt.

I always buy the newest edition to ensure that I am up-to-date regarding case law.

Good Book
So far the book has proved to be very helpful in my Environmental Law class.Though the chapters where it is simply listing the law are not particularly interesting, the case studies are often very helpful.

Essential
This handbook is an essential tool to anyone in the environmental field.There are always new additions, so having a recent copy helps but it's not necessary since the environmental laws don't change that much.I would recommend getting a newer edition when a major law has passed so that the reader can understand the impact the new law will have on their community.A copy can usually be found at either the public library or a law library but there is SO MUCH information packed into this book that I highly recommend having your own copy so you can hi-light the text and bookmark the important sections that apply to your business.

Excellent
I am very blessed to have gotten it in the nick of time. I had time to read some of the book before my classes started.

"Must-Have" resource!
This Environmental Law Handbook has proven to be an invaluable resource to me as an environmental mediator and public involvement specialist.I use it constantly so that I can be technically sharp at work.It's dry reading, but very valuable!Paired with the Consensus Building Handbook by Susskind et al, it is the core of any environmental and public policy specialist. ...
