Review Quotes:

"With its oblong shape, puffy, padded cover and yellow rickrack ribbon imitating a squiggle of mustard, it's the perfect analogue to the food it honors. . . . Sadeghin's voicey style . . . makes the whole thing go down easy. . . . The Hot Dog Cookbook is highly recommended for lovers of novelty and adventurous eating."

-- BookPage, STARRED REVIEW

Review Quotes:

"Offers so much more than meets the eye. . . . [The Hot Dog Cookbook] goes well beyond usual suspects like a Chicago-style hot dog in its 50 recipes, exploring both lesser-known American variations (like the Baltimore Dog, which includes bologna, sweet pickle relish, brown mustard, and onions) and global takes on the humble sausages (Montreal Steamies, anyone?). The book is worth purchasing for its yellow mustard-squiggle bookmark alone."

-- Southern Living

Review Quotes:

"Delightful."

-- Inquirer and Mirror (Nantucket)

Review Quotes:
"The Hot Dog is more than just the perfect proletarian sustenance, it is a celebrated member of the culinary fabric of America with a vast regionality and deep history. I am thrilled this book exists to educate us all in a food that is just so damn tasty."
--George Motz, Burger Scholar and owner of NYC's Hamburger America


Review Quotes:
"I love this book, which is super-fun and super-smart, just like Farideh, who wants you to succeed in living your best hot dog life. The Hot Dog Cookbook is a complete roadmap for cooking and eating hot dogs in every great regional American style and from around the world."
--Laurie Woolever, bestselling author

--Eric Wareheim, writer, director, bestselling author


Review Quotes:
"I didn't know we needed a hot dog cookbook until Farideh Sadeghin made one worth needing."
--Lucas Sin, a chef who eats hot dogs


Review Quotes:
"Playful . . . . A breezy history of 'tubular meats through the ages' alongside a brief overview of cooking methods, from grilling to microwaving. . . . Rounding things out are casual sidebars on the history of ketchup and mustard, a ranking of baseball stadium hot dogs, and a comic dive into whether a hot dog is technically a sandwich."-- Publishers Weekly
