Kirsten and Christopher Shockey's first book, Fermented Vegetables, is one of my absolute favorite fermentation books. So, as soon as I heard last year that their next book would be all about hot sauces, salsas, and other spicy fermented yumminess from around the world, I couldn't wait. They have a way of providing an inspirational framework for experimenting with fermentation that means the sky is the limit. Fiery Ferments also gives you a lot of ideas for how to use your ferments in your cooking and serves as a great reference tool. This book is a worthy successor to their first book!
