The Sriracha Cookbook Blog
Month
I’m beyond proud to announce that The Veggie-Lover’s Sriracha Cookbook will be released on July 2nd, and naturally, I’m throwing a big party to celebrate.
Join me and a bunch of people with exceptional taste at Chloe’s, the semi-private club at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles. We’ll have tasty grub and splendid beers to fill your mouth-hole, and sweet bluegrass tunes to serenade your ears.
Try some of the following dishes from my book expertly prepared by Golden Road’s Executive Chef Adam Levoe:
I’ll be there to chat about all things vegan and to sign copies of both The Sriracha Cookbook and The Veggie-Lovers Sriracha Cookbook. (They will of course be available for purchase at the event.)
The event is free to enter; food and beer are available for purchase à la carte. There will be a list of suggested Golden Road Beer pairings and a TBA Sriracha-infused DESSERT. Stay tuned for other rooster sauce madness…

Radio Interview: “Why are Americans so smitten with Sriracha?”
After the recent release of the new Lay’s Sriracha-flavored potato chips, a producer from Los Angeles-based public radio station KPCC reached out to see if I’d be available to come on their “Take Two” program to discuss Sriracha’s popularity and all the little Sriracha-themed products popping up in its wake. Naturally, I was honored to chat with them about my favorite subject: the almighty rooster sauce!

Had a great time tasting different brands, and explaining the differences between Sriracha here in the US and in Thailand.

Per “The Dinner Party”:
It’s hard to escape the red plastic bottle with a rooster on it; Sriracha is now a staple of cool-kid eateries everywhere. In fact, the condiment is so popular that imitators are springing up…in a bad way: the blog “Food Republic” reported they’d received a box of counterfeit Sriracha. To learn about why the sauce is so hot (in every sense of the word), Rico caught up with Randy Clemens, author of The Sriracha Cookbook. Turns out, there’s never been just one ‘sriracha.’
