review 1: Most cookbooks organized around a single ingredient contain a few good recipes and a lot of others that are just silly. The questions "I wonder how go-ju-jang would go on Cheerios" and "Do you think maple syrup would add anything to broccolini?" just shouldn't be asked. Randy Clemens' book on Sriracha (an Asian spicy red chili sauce which comes in a distinctive plastic squeeze bottle) is an exception. There are several things about Sriracha which are interesting. One is that that it is found on the tables of Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and other Asian restaurants. Such ubiquity is rare in Asian cuisine. Another is that it has become widely popular in the United States and has "crossed over" into distinctly Western dishes such as cornbread, hamburgers, macar... moreoni and cheese, chili con carne and buffalo wings. This is one of those few one-ingredient cookbooks which contain sufficient good suggestions to justify its place in the home cook's library.
review 2: I can't really give this more or less than 2 stars, as while I've read all the wordy bits and browsed the recipes, I've made none of them and probably won't, since this book is very meat and dairy centric. There are a few in the appetizer/snack and soups sections that seem like they can be modified, but overall, this is a book for people who love sriracha sauce and eating animals.Or you may be inspired to squirt sriracha sauce directly into your mouth. Either/or. less
