Just starting this book and my hot sauce journey. Anyone tried this book? Any good or bad recipes?

Never seen it but drop a note back here if it’s worth it

If any of the recipes have pineapple or mango in them then you have to make em. Hot sauce base around those ingredients always slap.

Don’t have the book but love cooking.

A review of the book would be great. Mostly I take what I have from the garden - this year it’s cayenne, habanero , and ají amarillo, add some garlic, spices, brine it, blend it, and call it tasty. I want to see if I can grow Madame Jeanette next year.

I’ve used this book. I like it. My particular favorite is their chipotle hot sauce. I’ve come to prefer that hot sauce over any that I can buy, and I always have some in my fridge at this point. If you do try that recipe, a word of warning: it’s thicker than we normally tend to think of most hot sauce, and so transferring it into bottles after making a batch takes a bit of practice.

Thanks for the tip.

Good to hear, I like chipotle.

I never had fermented hot sauce but they have one on Hot Ones right now. I am interested in trying it. I recently got a LOVE of fermented foods. I wonder if there a fermented food festival like they have garlic festivals or hot pepper festivals.

A fermented food festival sounds fun!
