I have always tried to live my life with integrity. I haven’t always succeeded, and I know that I’ve caused hurt along the way. But, I take full responsibility for my actions and will always acknowledge my faults. But when it comes to this space, in a public and very accessible domain, I’ve made sure to be as open and honest as I can be. I’ve followed the rules, blogged ethically and made mention of gifts I’ve received and payments that have been made. I’ve entered competitions ‘for the heck of it’ because I enjoy the challenge. And then kept silent as my recipes are copied, ideas are replicated and rules are broken. Each time, the winner has been someone who has not played fair. And even though they might pat themselves on their backs and relish in the joy of winning, can they honestly live with themselves knowing they have cheated? When Debs Ayub arranged for Sense of Taste to be sent to me I knew I could not replicate a recipe without the permission from the publisher. This was sought and received and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share with you a winning recipe from Chef Peter Ayub.

Tandy this is amazing. I totally said to my mom yesterday that I wanted to make snags sometime soon, and boom, you give me a stella recipe to try. Thank you!!!
Oh, I love the name snags! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Tandy, The recipe looks wonderful . I am saving it for my future use.
I am very sorry you have been hurt my others here while blogging.
Hugs being sent. Have a good week.
Sarah
Thanks for the hugs Sarah 🙂
I hate that people take credit for something they have not worked for, and winning a competition on someone else’s work is really unfair
Joleen, it is totally unfair!
I don’t think I have every made a homemade sausages before. These look great Tandy.
Have a happy Monday.
🙂 Mandy xo
Hope you give them a try Mandy xx
Oh delish! I like to add a bit of crushed red pepper. I’m sorry about the issues that you’ve had with blogging and your recipes Tandy. I hope everyone is giving you the credit you deserve.
Crushed red pepper would be a great addition 🙂
I loathe it when people steal recipe ideas. Crediting someone for a recipe is so easy and you’ve always been wonderful with that Tandy. Keep doing what you’re doing 🙂
Thanks Lorraine! I think it is so important 🙂
Mmm, I do love fennel in my pork sausage, and the addition of orange sounds lovely too. 🙂
This is a perfect flavour combination 🙂
These sausages sound so delicious, Tandy. Thanks for the recipe. Hope I can find some pork mince here. 🙂
I hope you can find some Sylvia 🙂
I salute your integrity!
We are not pork eaters; but I am impressed with this make your own sausage. No casing required! I’ve recently purchased a meat grinder attachment for my stand mixer. I’m going to do some experimenting with chicken sausage. Thanks for passing this along!
Cali, you will love grinding your own meat. I did some venison the other day 🙂
Oh how I love the fennel and orange zest in here. I have to copy your recipes at home Tandy, I’m such an uncreative cook =) Just hoping dinner magically appears on my table. Glad I can pick your brain for tasty ideas on this site…..but no, I will never try to pass them off as my own. That would be totally wrong. Can’t believe others can’t see that.
I love that you would make my recipes at home Laura 🙂
Wow. This looks so flavorful and delicious!! The fennel/pork combo sounds amazing.
Thanks, it really was 🙂
Good for you for playing by the rules, lots of truths in there. And love the idea of making ones own sausage, looks amazing.
Thanks Evelyne!
Oh, do love a good sausage and these look exceptional – thanks Tandy.
And they are so easy to make!
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. These photos are making me hungry.
Sometimes I wish I could taste what is on my computer screen 🙂
Delightful recipe, Tandy, I love fennel in a sausage, it adds extra flavour and helps digesting the heavier ingredients. We have a butcher from Sicily in Basel and his salsiccie with finocchio and chilis are legendary!
Thank you for addressing the issue of copying recipes and not playing by the rules in blogosphere, it is disgusting and a mirror of today’s society.
That salsiccie sounds divine! Thanks for all the tweet love 🙂
We all make mistakes in life, but you are doing a great job with blogging, in my opinion!
Thank you so much for that Joanne 🙂
I am such a pork sausage fan, but I don’t think I’ve had it like this. I must give this a chance… maybe over the weekend.
Let me know if you do Kia 🙂
What a great idea! I’ve never tried making my own sausage. Bookmarked.
Looking forward to hearing what you think of them Pam 🙂
I am so excited to make these Tandy – sausages without any casing, what a great idea!!!
I’m sorry to here that someone has done that but the main thing is that you stay true to your own ethics like you are. Hold your head high xxx

These are perfect for home making, and thanks for the support xx
These look so good! All of those different colors are just stunning! I have actually never made my own sausage, but I certainly NEED to make these! LOVE them 😀
Thank you so much for the compliment 🙂
I saw a fascinating doco the other day about the guy behind Cabbage Patch Dolls who who had completely ripped off an artist. No only what he did was ethically wrong but of course, he went on to make millions and they were paupers. As to Pork and Fennel Sausages – a classic and a favourite. Thanks for sharing!
How awful of him!
