Hello Ryan,
Thank you for a great sausage class today. I was writing you for the other 2 recipes for the hot links and the rosemary/pecorino sausage. Could also let me know where you can get casings and perhaps a good butcher shop for the home shopper to make sausage.
Thanks for the information!
Judi

Hello 4505–

I want to attend a sausage making class in May 2010 with my father-in-law for his birthday. Being that classes sell out so quickly, is there any chance of buying our spots now. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I am really interested in future classes. I was the Chef at Bistro Campagne for the last 3 years (was laid-off in February) and dabbled in cured meats and sausages using books, recipes others would give me, and sheer trial and error. I am staging at Old Town Social and Publican this fall on off days and was looking for a class to further educate. if you could please send me some info on future classes or alternatives
Thanks,

Have you ever thought of offering a class in butchering the whole goat? We raise Boer goats and would like to learn how to butcher ourselves rather than taking a young goat to a butchering service.

Hi guys .

I did a two week blockman course in South Africa a year ago. Kinda buthering 101 . Recently relocated to Texas and have been finding a hard time finding any classes /courses in this field. I am interested in all aspects especially breaking down the whole animal into primal cuts , sausagemaking etc.
I am not on Facebook or twitter . Is there another way to get regular info regarding upcoming classes?
Thanks Anton

I would like a listing of dates, times, and costs of your classes. I refer students to different career trainings and try to get Dept. of Vocational Rehabilitation to pay the cost. These students have learning disabilities, but it doesn’t stop them from being excellent students especially when it is a hands-on training. Thanks for your information. Janet
