Is it fair to review a cookbook before actually trying any of the recipes? Usually I would say "no." But as previous reviewers have pointed out, just reading through the recipes is enough to realize that most, if not all of, the recipes come across more as suggestions of things to add Sriracha to rather than terribly insightful Srirevelations. There's a recipe for cheddar cheese bread, but nothing more interesting than that. I would've liked to see more recipes for Srirecipes that I'd want to tr...more
This is a great little cookbook if you like Sriracha. Not all the recipes are very original or interesting, but sometimes it's easy to forget that adding Sriracha to a simple recipe, can make it that much better. Now, I can't eat tater tots without Sriracha ketchup, and Ruffles chips have to be eaten with Sriracha sour cream. Get this cookbook if you want reminders of all the foods you can easily add a little Sriracha to make it that much better.
amazing book! even for someone who doesn't like the heat, i purchased this spicy condiment with all the hypethat's been going on around it, and not knowing what to do with it really i found this awesome book that really did not disappoint. its versatile from breads to sorbets using the spice, i thought it would be boring, showing you how to add it as a condiment but the book upgraded this to a whole new level indeed!.
This book really answers the question "What else can I use this sauce for besides breakfast burritos and cold pizza". Sriracha is a tangy, spicy, hot sauce that is used in Asian cooking. The Rooster brand comes in a handy squeeze bottle. The recipes I did copy are Sriracha Slaw (it uses peanut butter)and Sriracha Ceviche. I reccomend this book and sauce if you like spicier foods.
For those who are just starting to use Sriracha, this book could be of interest. Unfortunately, many of the "recipes" are common variations. (Sriracha Mayo, Sriracha Deviled Eggs, etc.) . There are some ideas that people may find interesting, but I was hoping for more interesting recipes.
Bummer! I love this sauce and was totally looking forward to some new and interesting recipies. Not so-there is one for a cole slaw I may try, but, really.....macaroni and cheese with hot sauce??--you need a recipie for that??....that's the only way I can eat that stuff.
I love Rooster sauce and found so many awesome recipes to try from this book. There are also recipes for cocktails, which was surprising, because I never would have imagined you could use Sriracha sauce that way. Crazy.
If other people's hot is your mild this book is for you! Working or eating my way through the book. Ultimate Sriracha Burger is a delicious 10 napkin meal!
This book is silly and a little bit ridiculous, but as a fan of all things sriracha, this book offers a fun twist for home meals.

Website indicated it had the recipe for sriracha salt
Loved this book. Worth the price just for the recipe for Sriracha salt which I gave away during the holidays.
This doesn't seem to be a very extensive collection of recipes, but then, there's only so much you can do with Sriracha. I made the Sriracha mayo and have used it on sandwiches. It's pretty hot! But it tastes good. I think anyone who enjoys Sriracha would probably enjoy this cookbook.
Entertaining, enjoyable, and delicious, with plenty of good ideas.
What a fun read. And, incidentally, a ton of delicious stuff. *grin*
Made the Mac&Cheese, and while it was good, it really just tasted like Mac&Cheese with Sriracha in it. Did I expect more?! May try recipe for the homemade Sriracha, but may not!
highly recommend!
LOVE.
Just thinking about this cookbook makes my mouth water! I made the canned green beans a month ago and opened a can this week (yes, I waited to post to see if the recipe was any good)-- they were fantastic! Having been a fan of Rooster Sauce (as we call it because of the rooster on the label) for years, all I can say it hooray for its novel perspective on cooking! Now I have more reasons than ever to enjoy it.
A daring, darling little cookbook. Very imagniative.

Great cookbook. Awesome pictures (always a plus for me in a cookbook). Creative and extremely tasty recipes. A nice history of the product and some nice cooking tips. I have a high spice tolerance and most of the recipes are a good and challenging level of heat for me, but absolutely burst through other peoples' tolerance levels (some recipes call for more than a half a cup of the Rooster Sauce for very few servings). My one major complaint: I wish the book was longer!
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.

Full disclosure: I haven't really cooked anything in here, so I'm just marking it as read to get it out of my to-read list. I'm rating it based on the macro photography and the writing.
But the plan is to use the homemade sriracha recipe and substitute red jalapenos with habanero peppers.

Disappointingly unoriginal. I was hoping for more information and something a little more interesting then just "add sriracha to these common dishes".
as a novelty item celebrating this sauce, 5 stars. as an actual cookbook, just 2. seriously sriracha mayo? i also made that up years ago. nothing in here is really transcendant or inventive. mix it into your basic recipe for ____? ooh ahh.
I would have liked to give this a 3.5. It has some tasty recipes & gave me some ideas. The Sriracha cheddar bread will be made.
If you can stand the heat, you'll like this book.
