You really enjoy, or even need, your chilli sauces
You really enjoy, or even need, your chilli sauces
find it hard to get good ones - the supermarkets sure don't stock them
know there's a lot of different styles but don't know much about them - there's no books or websites that help much
sick of sauces who's primary aim is simply to be as hot as it can get and 'to Hell' with the flavour
You look at the ingredients list and wonder what most of it is.
What is preservative 211?
What is acetic acid?
What is oleoresin?
Put up with poor quality sauces just to get a bit of heat
Manage to find a good sauce and then just stick to that one, wondering why you like it and if there are others similar to it
Spend hours at the nearest annual chilli festival and spend $200+ trying to get a years supply from amongst the blur of flavours
Try and find out what style of sauce you have by scanning through web pages/books but coming up blank - Is it Mexican, Thai, Indian, what?
Wonder what the best uses for the style of sauce that you have are, and end up wasting half the bottle in recipes that just tasted terrible
That's easy. If you want a service provided that delivers massive value, from someone that has 20+ years experience with spicy foods.
The chillies-down-under.com Gold Membership is a guaranteed service that;
delivers, by express post, premium chilli sauces to your door - no driving across town to a tiny shop or hours of dragging the family through the chilli festival to find something you like
provides a quick reference card on essential information for the sauce - who made it, how hot is it, what style is it, what foods does it work best with, does it need refrigeration, etc
gives an analysis of the quality and style of the sauce and a fascinating history behind it's evolution and cultural influences - most of the foods we eat are the result of hundreds and even thousands of years of cultural evolution and influences.
presents recipes developed specifically for the sauce of the month, and other recommended uses
provides an insight into the history of the producer as many of these companies, Tabasco is a good example, have been around for a long time and have a interesting story to tell. Others are run by interesting characters, many of whom are 'out there on the edge' with their approach to food and chillies.
gives an explanation of all listed ingredients so that you know exactly what you are eating
lets you know contact details of producers/suppliers so you can obtain more of the sauce should it take your fancy

Fair enough question.
I have been growing, preserving and cooking with chillies for over 20 years and in that time have picked up a great deal of experience and knowledge that you can't get from just reading books.
I have been fortunate enough over the years to have the opportunity to travel to a number of countries, all of which use chillies and spices in daily life.
Although it wasn't always easy, I spent the majority of the journeys in rural and remote areas and managed to spend a lot of time with the camp cooks and the local residents. Places such as China, Fiji and a number of locations in Indonesia presented me with a wealth of new ingredients and techniques that just aren't seen in our Westernised versions of their food.
In 2003 I made the decision to change careers and get into the food industry full time. I started up a spicy food production, marketing and distribution business which added significantly to my knowledge by exposing me to;
International and national health and safety standards involved in the production of food,
The high standards required by chefs regarding freshness and quality as I was producing ingredients for them,
Having to conduct public cooking demonstrations and tastings to educate people in the use of our products - you need to know what you're doing and get it right every time.
In 2005 I held my Chilli Sauce Appreciation Course at the University of Western Australia, the first of it's kind in the world, and received rave reviews from the attendees
The chillies-down-under.com Gold Membership is the logical evolution of this unique course to make it available to chilli sauce enthusiasts around the world rather than just those in Perth
Over the years I have spent literally $1,000's on sauces and have experienced, first hand, the good, the bad, and the truly ugly.
The second factor that guarantees the quality to you is that I am limiting the number of members to 70 places, worldwide.
Why? Because that's all I am able to handle - this is effectively a one-on-one relationship between you and me, exploring chilli sauces from around the world.
Any more than 70 members would mean that I have to start getting other people involved and it starts becoming a mass produced commodity rather than the special service that I want it to be.
Long term subscribers can tell you that this is my hobby, not how I make a living. So for me it's all about interest and enjoying what I'm doing - not simply pushing for every buck I can make.
Whether you're subscribing from with in Australia or overseas, there is an introductory rate for your the first month's subscription to allow you a free trial period to test the value of this service. The $10 is simply to cover my postage costs - The sauce, notes, and members folder are all yours free to keep regardless of whether you stay on as a member or not!
For subscriptions within Australia - 1st month $10 - then $35/month
For subscriptions outside Australia - 1st month $10 - then $45/month (though with the exchange rate you won't really notice the difference). Approximate currency equivalents are;
$40 US Dollars
€26 Euros
£20 British Pounds

That's fine. I am naturally sceptical about many of the over-hyped claims I find on the internet and have been disappointed a number of times.
