Haute Dogs: Recipes for Delicious Hot Dogs, Buns, and Condiments Paperback – 29 April 2014

I really love this hot dog book. It’s really informative about hotdogs and general various regional hotdog varieties. The best part about this book is that it has all the recipes (for sausages, buns and etc and condiments) if you want to make everything yourself from scratch. Personally I really love made from scratch BBQ sauce. I bought this book as gift for my friends in Ukraine (where hot dogs aren’t really popular food) along with hot dog bun baking pan. Hotdogs are delicious and something everyone can easily make as family/dinner party food. I am not sure if many people would make their own sausages but as far as I know sausages are available everywhere. I also really love corn dogs and this book has a recipe for corn batter. Great book.

I love hot dogs and I love this book

SO I PURCHASED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT. THE PHOTOGRAPHY CAUGHT MY EYE – THE RECIPES – WELL I THOUGHT I KNEW ALL THERE WAS TO KNOW ABOUT HOTDOGS AFTER LIVING IN NYC (NATHANS), CINCINATTI (CHILI DOGS), NORTH CAROLINA (SOUTHERN STYLE), AND ST LOUIS (GOOD OLE’ MIDWEST HOTDOGS). WHEREVER YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, YOU WILL RELATE AND HAVE A FAVORITE “HAUTE” DOG. THIS AUTHOR IS SO CREATIVE! BEFORE GIFTING IT I SPENT SOME ENJOYABLE TIME WITH THIS BOOK. MOST COOKBOOKS HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF “SOME” OF THE RECIPES. THIS AUTHOR WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO TAKE A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPH FOR EVERY RECIPE! I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I CAN’T GET EXCITED ABOUT A RECIPE WITHOUT SEEING THE PICTURE FIRST. WHENEVER MY FRIENDS AND I FIND SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT – WE BUY FOR EACH OTHER. I PURCHASED THIS BOOK, NOT ONLY FOR MY BEST BUDDIES BUT MYSELF. AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS BOOK WILL NOT STAY ON MY KITCHEN BOOKSHELF VERY LONG. POTATO WEDGES ON A HOTDOG! COME ON! AND IT JUST GETS BETTER. WHEN I MADE THE GUATEMALA DOG FOR MY FRIENDS AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW SUMMER GRILL, THEY ALL SAID “THIS IS INSANE! THIS IS MORE THAN A HOTDOG!” WITH A SLOW NOD, I SAID, “I KNOW, IT’S A “HAUTE DOG”. I REALLY COULD ELABORATE ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE RECIPES BUT I WON’T TAKE THE JOY OUT OF DISCOVERING THIS GEM. THANK YOU RVK.

I chose this book for the simple fact that I like hotdogs. I think this is the first cookbook I have read nonstop cover to cover. Not only does Russell tell you how to create some wonderful dogs he explains the history of each variety. One of the highlights is how to make your own breads and condiments. Unbelievable value and highly recommended.

Great cookbook, I underestimated the hotdog! Beautiful hardcover with fabulous pictures.
