Review
"When the Smithsonian does an exhibition on hot sauces in America, lets hope the curator is Jennifer Trainer Thompson. Shes the author, traveler, chef, shiitake-farmer and hot sauce creator who set it all in motion….she brought popularity and polish to an otherwise obscure hobby practiced by culinary eccentrics across the country.” Chile Pepper
“Were having a heat wave, and the weather has nothing to do with it. Its because Jennifer Thompson wants to take us ‘mouth surfing through the world of hot sauces.” Minneapolis Star Tribune
