Hot Sauce!: Techniques for Making Signature Hot Sauces, with 32 Recipes to Get You Started; Includes 60 Recipes for Using Your Hot Sauces

Bought this cook book for my father-in-law since he loves peppers and spicy food. I figured he would enjoy making his own sauces. I was right! He was overjoyed with the book and the information provided within. Not just all hot sauce recipes, but history about hot sauces, how they are rated by "hotness", and also recipes to use the homemade hot sauces in. For someone who is extremely difficult to buy for (he has one of everything) this was a home run pick! How I will top it next year is beyond me. Great book for the hot sauce beginner or expert. Covers all kinds of sauces from all kinds of places. Definitely recommend!

Being a well-traveled Texan, I have had a wide variety of hot and spice sauces and salsas. My passion has led me to make my own for the past 10 years. So when I see a recipie I like, I try it and then put my own spin on it the next time I make it. Jennifer's recipies are perfect without needing to be tweeked - flavorful, many layers of fruit, spice, and heat. The book is entertaining as well as instructional, with a really funny description of how a first encounter with a habanero chile pepper can bring you to levels of hell you couldn't even imagine!This little lady know her heat and my Stetson is off to Jennifer Trainer Thompson!lonestar927

This book has spent some serious time opened up in my kitchen getting splashed! I have made at least 20 of these recipes so far. From mango salsa, black bean soup, Tomatillo Salsa, Jerk Sauce, Grilled Oyster shooters, Guacamole like no other, the list goes on and on! Get this book if you like good hot food.The NoteBar and Grill

I got this for my dad for fathers day. He made two of the sauces (one with jalapenos and the other with cayenne peppers from his garden) and both turned out great. This book has several hot sauce recipes, goes through the different types of peppers and additional ingredients you can use, talks about safety and then also has recipes for dishes you can prepare using the hot sauces. My dad only just got started on the book, but he is already a big fan, and I am a big fan of the hot sauces he made!

Great recipes and ideas. They've even got mixed drinks in it! Great addition to my cookbook library.

This is a great starter book. We have been able to make some sauces that are to die for using this book as a base. Start using the recipes just as listed in the book and make small batches. This will give you an idea if you like it as is or if you need to make a few tweaks for your taste buds. I would of had no idea where to start making a hot sauce. After experimenting with these recipes we now have some great hot sauces we love more than any store bought ones we have tried. Franks hot sauce hot wings use to be our favorite but now we have a hot sauce that is even better after this book. You want to perfect your own hot sauce I recommend starting here.

I chose this for a hot sauce fanatic as a gift. I did like that you can take a sneak peak at the contents, as there are quite a few books out there like it. The recipes are easy to follow, and the extra tidbits included are very informative and fun. The author appears to know their hot sauce, but doesn't talk down to the reader like they are superior on the subject. Overall a great purchase, with a very happy recipient.

This book was ok, I learned a little from it. I was hoping to learn more about making fermented hot sauces. Also many of the peppers are not carried here in central California. Some of the recipes are very good, some not so good. If you buy this book the Back Draft recipe is my favorite and it can be jarred very easily.

Oltre alle ricette ci sono diversi spunti storici, è un libro ben fatto
