Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Until hot sauces got trendy about two decades ago, Americans were playing ketchup with the rest of the world, which has long appreciated fiery condiments. DeWitt, editor of Chile Pepper magazine and author of Fiery Appetizers, and Evans, a hot sauce collector, define their subject ("any sauce, regardless of thickness, that contains chile peppers") and extol its virtues: healthful, low in calories and fat, and versatile, with an unparalleled zip. While leading a lively tour of bottled and homemade heat (including barbecue sauces, sambals, srirachas, Tunisian Radish Relish, Israeli Sabra Dip and Trinidad Rum Sauce), they provide dozens of recipes organized by geographic region of origin, accompanied by a heat scale rating and suggested use. The informal layout includes reproductions of labels and playful sidebars (Hot Sauce Names on Animal Themes lists Viper Venom, Mad Dog Liquid Fire and Hogs Breath Salsa), and concludes with an annotated listing of Evans's hot sauce cellar. There is also a lengthy guide to the major mail-order sources, a listing for retail shops that specialize in spicy products and a generous bibliography.

From Library Journal
In case you didn't know it, collecting hot sauces is becoming an increasingly popular hobby. Evans, in fact, has acquired 1573 bottles to date. DeWitt, the editor of Chile Pepper magazine and author of more than a dozen cookbooks on spicy foods, has teamed up with him to present a catalog of the collection along with recipes and lore about hot sauces from all over the world. There are homemade versions of classics like Tabasco sauce as well as the specialties of major hot sauce locales, with 175 recipes in all. Photographs and listings of the more interesting labels and names are interspersed throughout the text. Jennifer Trainer Thompson's The Great Hot Sauce Book (Ten Speed, 1995) offers photographs and descriptions of each sauce included?but she covers a mere (!) 350 or so and provides just a few dozen recipes.

History, recipes and details of all hot sauces around !,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hot Sauce Bible (Paperback)
If, like me, you get through dozens of bottles of hot sauce a week, you might be interested in this tome. As well as listing virtually every hot sauce on the planet (this takes up half the book !), it gives recipes of how to make your own copies of well known sauces (from Tabasco style hot sauce to Jamaican super hot). It also gives useful recipes for barbeque style sauces (I can recommend the smokey chipotle sauce recipe, it's GREAT on ribs), and gives suppliers details and a few URLs for those who can't locate the ingredients they need. All in all, a great book, but would have benefitted from a few more pics and a dash more colour.

Hot Hot Hot,

This review is from: The Hot Sauce Bible (Paperback)
From barbecue to curry, this is the place to find heat: dipping sauces, salsas, marinades, curry pastes, relishes and rubs. Each is introduced with a little history and serving suggestions and is rated on a heat scale. The book's introduction defines the various types of sauces and chapters are organized geographically and inclusive of the world.
The last chapter features dishes using the sauces. Appendices include mail order sources from throughout the U.S. and the world and the web. This is an everything you ever wanted to know -- and more -- book.

Hot sauce !,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hot Sauce Bible (Paperback)
Love the recipes inside, but some of them to sour for me. The level hot is good...if want hotter, easy add more habaneros in the recipe.
So far, I tried a few recipes inside...they become a good sauce and I love it ! This book has plenty of hot sauce from around the world. So, I just picked the recipe sounds good for me and not to weird on my tongue. I will recommended this book to all my friend who love hot sauce and hot food.
