how I learned to stop worrying and love hot sauce.

This story is included in issue #7 of the Voices of Lefferts, “Flatbush Eats” available in The Green Light Bookstore on Flatbush, Brooklyn.

My piece traipses in a jolly-serious way through Irish history, my own family upbringing, the Flatbush, Brooklyn Caribbean influence and how it all relates eventually to Hot Sauce and my artisan food creation Hattwood.com
