THE HOT SAUCE BOOK Dear Reader, If you’re reading this, you probably already have a favorite hot sauce. It’s the one you reach for when you have eggs in the morning or when you’re fixing yourself a late-night sandwich. It might be a well-known brand like Sriracha, or a lesser-known one like Secret Aardvark, or maybe it’s a special concoction made from fresh chili peppers in your own kitchen. If there is one thing I learned while writing this book, it’s that people everywhere love their hot sauce. When I told folks—family, friends, random acquaintances—that I was writing a book about hot sauce, nearly everyone had the same reaction. Their eyes would light up immediately and they’d lean in, as if they were sharing a secret with me and say, “I have a great hot sauce that you should write about. It’s my favorite. It’s called ….” Whether it’s in Chicago, Accra, or Manila, hot sauce gets people’s blood flowing and their mouths watering. While developing recipes for this book, my kitchen became home to dishes I never dreamed of making, from places like Ethiopia and Jamaica. Once I started exploring hot sauce, it both changed the way I cook and opened up a new world. I hope this book does the same for you. Welcome to the Series! Series!
