Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Hot sauce

    • Apollonia on September 02, 2022

      Very easy and tasty, though I may end up adding a little vinegar and sugar to mine just to bring the flavors out a bit more. Still worlds above most store bought.

  • Hot pepper flakes

    • Apollonia on September 02, 2022

      I almost breezed by this add-on to the hot sauce recipe, because honestly it seemed like kind of a faff, but these are frankly better than the (very good) hot sauce. I've never had fermented chili flakes before but won't stop now. The funk is incredible! I needed to my grind pieces in my spice grinder a bit once they dried out, otherwise perfect.
