Rating: Summary: One of the best "niche" cookbooks around. Review: This cookbook utilizes Tabasco sauce in all the recipes, but they are not all firey hot. Rather, this cookbook uses Tabasco like a spice or flavoring agent, to add dimension to all kind of recipes. I highly recommend this to anybody that likes good food and likes their food to have flavor instead of just heat.
Rating: Summary: This cookbook is too short Review: Who better is there than Paul McIlhenny to write a Tabasco Sauce cookbook? The recipes in this book are simple to prepare and tasty. I just made one of the omelette recipes featured in this book. It consisted of four ingredients, one of which (beer) I never imagined I'd put in an omelette. It was great and took five minutes to pull together. Some other recipes worth trying are "Zydeco Green Beans", "Potato, Artichoke & Leek Soup" and "Walter McIlhenny's Chili". McIlhenny includes alot of interesting Tabasco-usage tips. For example, he recommends adding a drop to a glass of cola. After my beer-in-the-omelette episode, I'm willing to try Tabasco in my Coke. He includes alot of Tabasco history and Tabasco trivia which I could have done without. But, overall, this is a pretty good cookbook. I just wish the space taken up by history and trivia had been used for more recipes.
