Hot & Bothered
What It Is: Feeling cold outside? Heat things up in the kitchen with these two super spicy cookbooks by author Randy Clemens. Loaded with 50 different recipes for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, the star ingredient here is that ubiquitous ‘rooster sauce’, aka Sriracha. The veggie cookbook in particular is much appreciated in my veggie-eating world – and it offers bonuses by serving up adaptations for those who go full vegan, are ovo-lacto vegetarians, or those looking for a gluten-free choice. With inventive spins on a range of foods like hummus, pho, maple sausage patties and believe it or not, peach sorbet, these are a great pick for any Sriracha diehard in your household.
Who It’s For: Your Sriracha-hoarding brother who refuses to cook (maybe this will inspire him). Your always looking for a new cooking challenge wife. Your Sriracha-loving parents, as a new twist on an old fave.
What It Costs: The list price for each book is $19.99 but they are available for less online.
Where It’s At: Amazon.ca

I am a Sriracha fan. Goes with everything!
My son is a Sriracha fan and actually cooks!
I would love the Veggie Lovers Sriracha cookbook–sometimes you just crave some spice!
My husband and I are both huge Sriracha fans! We put it on pretty much every dinner. I buy the huge bottle now and it lasts about a month 😉 My Dad lived in Indonesia for many years and he keeps his bottle on his dinning room table, he uses it like Ketchup 😉 We would all love these cookbooks!
I;ve never heard of this.
I don’t use Siriracha much, but I do have a Sriracha-hoarding brother who loves to cook.
I like spicy, but I have littles who don’t. I suppose I could take some out for them before I add the spice.
My son and I love the sauce. I would love this cookbook. It would give me some new spicy recipes
Love Sirriacha sauce – heat in your food is always good. And my granddaughter is a big fan of it too, so the veggie cookbook would be excellent as well since she is vegatarian.
I AM a sriracha fan! I love anything spicy and these cookbooks are something I may have to check out!
I am not sure that I have had anything with Sriracha sauce so I would have to say that I am not a fan since I have not yet tried it. That is something I will have to sample this year as I like spicy food. My brother loves spice and is a vegetarian so the Veggie Lovers version would be great for him.
I like Sriracha sauce, however, my son is a huge fan and would love this cookbook!
I love Siracha. But I don’t think I would be able to make these recipes for anyone else in my family except my Dad!
My husband and I both like Sriracha sauce. The cookbooks I would covet.
We all like and use Sriracha; the cookbooks would be great for us.
Cheers.
love Sriracha. Adds just the right bite to any meal
I’d never heard of Sriracha before. I’d use the cookbook myself.
I like spicy foods and I know I would get some great recipes from one of these books.
No, I am not a sriracha fan, as I can’t eat spicy food. My son-in- law would love it – thanks!
I am a huge sriracha fan. I buy the extra large bottles and put it on everything! These cookbooks would be really awesome. I was so worried when a few months ago there was that scare about the sriracha factory shutting down. I ran out and bought a few extra bottles just in case! 🙂
I’m a fan of Sriracha . The cookbooks woulllld be for me.
It’s a little too spicy for me but my boyfriend loves it. The cookbook would be for both of us.
I don’t particularly like Sriracha – not spicy enough for me… but I would love the cookbook and I would substitute spicier hot sauce!
Definitely! My sister would love these books, she loves trying the newest, hippest foods, ideas, make-up etc.!
I like a touch of Sriracha but I have friends who eat it on everything and would love these books!
I am a sriracha fan and I would love these cookbooks, especially the veggie!
I absolutely love Sriracha. I use it in my spaghetti and chili, on burritos and on eggs. there’s almost nowhere it can’t go!
Stocking Stuffers for Teens bonus entry: not a Sriracha fan as I can’t tolerate heat but I know a few that would love one of these cookbooks. Thanks.
My hubby would love these! Sriracha is one of our pantry staples.
I love spicy food and often use this sauce. I would love a Sriracha cookbook!
