AMMO by Sabine Pearlman

Anytime we have the chance to feature sick ass art work we jump right on it. Like this anatomy based photography titled AMMO from Santa Monica based photographer Sabine Pearlman. It takes the evil portrayal of ammunition and turns it in to an eye-catching body of work by individually dissecting each bullet and photographing it to make these beautiful prints. The 900-specimen series was photographed in an old WWII bunker in Switzerland in October 2012 making it that much more special. Check out the full series below.

The Hot Sauce Cookbook

I can definitely deem myself a connoisseur of hot sauce. I mean, I grew up right next to the land of hot sauces (Mexico) and I was eating Habanero chilies before you could say mommy. Nothing is better than home-made hot sauce and teaching you how to do it is The Hot Sauce Cookbook. Written by Robb Walsh, it claims to be a “definitive guide to the world’s most beloved condiment.” It features 60+ classic and new recipes, including homemade knockoffs of popular brands like Sriracha, Texas Pete and Frank’s RedHot, along with fiery international sauces like Indonesian sambal, Ethiopian berbere and Meso-American salsas. We recommend you don’t get to wild with it on your first try because we promise you’ll be paying for it.
