A special note from Ben Kutas:

   This revised edition of “Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing” book is dedicated to the memory of the author Rytek Kutas.

   With the knowledge that he passed on to me in regards to sausage making, I was able to complete the revision of this book as he wanted it. As brothers, we grew up together and stayed close throughout our entire lives, and it is with this in mind that one section of this book is dedicated to recipes that were his favorites. Though they are not sausage recipes, they are excellent dishes he enjoyed.
