Hidden within this literary ruse, A Moment Between Love & Regret holds something far more exciting: a tasting set filled with fiery delights. Because nothing says "I love you" like a little mischief and a touch of spice.

Author's Notes:When self-sabotaging or behaving in ways that are, let’s say, less than your usual brilliance, this book is your rescue plan to avoid being disowned (or dumped) – while showing you how to spice things up in the right situation with the words of a wise, well-seasoned sage who knows when to turn up the heat and when you need to cool things down.
What's inside (in order of heat level)
Finger Lime x Jalapeño
The feisty Finger Lime x Jalapeño is made with Australian native finger lime for its zing and pepperberry for its umami, then combined with bright jalapeños, slow-cooked onions, and garlic to deliver mild umami goodness. Not your usual jalapeño hot sauce.
Heat Level — Mild
Chillies — Jalapeño
Try it with — Ceviche, tacos, scrambled eggs, cheese boards, salads
Davidson Plum x Habanero
The racy Davidson x Habanero champions Australia's native Davidson plum for a tangy kick, blends it with bold, fruity Habaneros, and rounds it off with ginger and muscovado sugar—delivering hot sauce lovers the perfect balance of pep and flavour.
Heat Level — Medium
Chillies — Habanero
Try it with — Yogurt to make a dip, omelettes, chicken parmas, burgers, dumplings
Kakadu x Jalapeño
Hotter than your usual Jalapeño sauce, this one has aniseed tones. It heroes Kakadu plum and Jalapeño, spiked with some extra hot chillies for a little more kick. Pressed green apple juice makes for a sugar-free alternative, and it's finished with ginger, Vietnamese mint, coriander, and fennel giving the sauce a bright herby tone.
Heat Level — Hot
Chillies — Jalapeño and Extra Hot Chilli Mix
Try it with — Pies, pho, soups, souvlakis, wraps, burgers
Blood Lime x Scorpion
This peppy, smoky sauce channels the essence of a barbecue without sticking to the script. It's built on the bold tang of blood lime and blood orange with a dash of rainforest lychee adding a tamarind tone. A dash of tamari brings a salty depth, while a touch of maple syrup delivers the sweetness you never knew your barbecue sauce was missing—perfect for those seeking something deep and bold.
Heat Level — Very Hot
Chillies — Scorpion
Try it with — Ribs, sandwiches, beans, grilled tofu, marinades, pulled pork
Desert Lime x Carolina
The ouchy Desert Lime x Carolina sauce heroes Australian native desert lime, pepperberry, and the deadly Carolina Reaper. Add organic apple cider vinegar, garlic, and muscovado sugar for a giddy, caramelly flavour bomb.
Heat Level — Super Hot
Chillies — Carolina Reaper
Try it with — Sangas, pies, toasties, swirled through hummus, Pico de Gallo
