Summary: This Book is Really HOT!
Review: HOT off the presses and I do mean HOT, Linda Matthie-Jacobs turns on the heat with her latest contribution to the culinary bookshelves. Linda, author of "Light the Fire: Fiery Food with a Light New Attitude!" (previously reviewed here) as well as "The Fire 'n' Ice Cookbook: Mexican Food with a Bold New Attitude" once again shows us that she knows how to produce and package a hit!

Anyone familiar with Linda's earlier releases knows that her gorgeous cover photos grab the eye and the recipes inside her books will keep your attention once the cover has caught you! Her latest is a tribute to the myriad number of hot sauces available and the bountiful recipes that incorporate their use in places you would not have thought to look!

The book is die cut to bottle shape, just the right size to tuck into a gift bag or basket filled with fiery flavor enhancers, sauces and chiles- - the perfect gift for the person who likes it HOT! Working with Diane Dallas, President of Lost Continent Hot Sauce Traders, Linda has expanded her horizons and recipes by working with and testing the manufacturers suggested recipes as well as modifying some of her own to use hot sauces rather than fresh or dried chiles. She loved the results...and so will you!

Ten companies contributed product and recipes for this book. Each section gives background information about the product, the manufacturer, additional product lines and several recipes and ideas using the featured product. I counted 30 recipes that range from (the unexpected) "Hot Chocolate Truffles" to (the sounds more like what you were expecting) "Screamin' Beef Burritos" with salads, seafood, chicken, salad dressings and pastas included in this recipe round-up for lovers of the red hot! There were dozens and dozens of tips and ideas as well.

Don't be afraid to "sizzle"- - Linda has always said, "the heat should only accentuate, not incinerate" and that is the way that the recipes are written.

For those of you who prefer fiery, flaming, blazing, smoking, searing, and scorching- - you merely adjust the amount of hot sauce upwards to your own taste.

Linda Matthie-Jacobs the undisputed "Hot Pepper Princess" has now laid claim to the title of "Hot Sauce Sovereign" as well!
