It’s time to bring the DIY mentality out of the garage and into the kitchen—specifically to a place where it’s long been needed: hot sauce. The Hot Sauce Cookbook ($13) gives you more than 60 recipes to make your own pepper sauces and salsas. Concoct your own take on Frank’s RedHot, Texas Pete, Crystal, or Sriracha, then roll the dice with recipes for Meso-american salsas, Indonesian sambal, and Ethiopian berbere. Most people won’t know what those last few are, but that just means they won’t know if you F’ed up the recipe either.
