This cookbook ain’t f*cking around – these recipes are seriously spicy and not for the faint of heart (or, for that matter, stomach). So before opening Billy Law's ode to chilli, you better ask yourself the following questions… Do you worship at the altar of spice? Is the Naga Viper your spirit animal? Do you carry an emergency bottle of chilli sauce because no one ever, ever gets it hot enough for you? If yes, then this book is going to be right up your alley.
With 70 accessible recipes for food that is so hot it will literally bring tears to your eyes, and extreme happiness to your heart, F*ck That's Hot! celebrates the world’s spiciest dishes. You can expect to find the recipes for Nashville hot chicken, Ghost pepper kimchi, sriracha buttered shrimp, Sichuan dan-dan noodles, Chicken vindaloo, Thai beef salad with bird’s eye dressing, Sichuan cumin lamb and Habanero chilaquiles. No doubt you’re sweating already…
So chilli-fiends, one question remains: what the f*ck are you waiting for? Reward (or punish?) your tastebuds with some punishing heat, as found in this deadly cookbook.
