THE WURST OF LUCKY PEACH

Chris Ying

A Treasury of Encased Meat

The Wurst of Lucky Peach is an illustrated, fast-paced trip around the world that will entertain readers and home cooks alike.
THE WURST OF LUCKY PEACH is the unabashed loved letter to one of Ying’s favorite dishes. It is part cookbook, part international reference guide, and part travelogue as Chris Ying and his partners in crime take a deep dive into the savory, smoky, crave-worthy universe of sausage.

In the first portion of the book, Ying and his team present their favorite varieties from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and North and South America in a fascinating who’s who of meat—And the essays from their sausage tours in Germany, Sweden, Thailand, Texas and more are as hilarious as they are informative.

THE WURST OF LUCKY PEACH also includes a diverse collection of recipes (many of which were featured in the travel essays) broken into categories of un-encased, encased, and more elaborate sausage creations ranging from the classic Chicago-style hot dog, to Moroccan Merguez, to the British Toad in the Hole, to Mum, a garlicky Thai specialty featuring beef and offal.

Stuffed with stories about the origins of sausage, tips on the best toppings for each dog, and anecdotes from the finest sausage producers, it includes 40 recipes hailing from every continent supported with detailed how-tos and step-by-step photos.
Lucky Peach’s trademark quirky and delightfully retro visual style makes THE WURST OF LUCKY PEACH a gift-able gem that will entertain readers and home cooks alike.
