How cool is it that a fiery rock star that has toured with the likes of Disturbed and other metal legends has created a line of all natural and beautifully balanced hot sauces. Originally created by Jonny Hetherington, lead-singer of the band Art of Dying, these hot sauces use no additives, preservatives, thickeners or binders in order to give health conscious food lovers a flavourful kick when cooking at home.
Unfortunately, Hetherington’s passion for food and his love of cooking have often been thwarted by his tumultuous touring schedule. “Cooking on the road is tough,” says Hetherington. “We’ve been lucky to have a small barbeque on the road and the odd kitchen experience at times but it’s super rare”. When Hetherington finally makes it home from touring, he either stops in at one of his favourite eateries or goes straight to the kitchen to explore new recipes. One of those recipes is deeply rooted in some of his family history and is what he has dubbed ‘The Hetherington Toast Party’.
Growing up, the Hetherington household had a lot of impromptu toast parties, and over time he and his wife adopted this tradition. Using great local produce that has become so easily accessible to many Vancouverites, Hetherington experiments with various ‘toast party’ inspired recipes and finally landed on the one we are showcasing here. “It’s kind of like painting. You’ve got your canvas, which is your toast, and your toppings, much like a pizza which allow you to create a new version every time,” says Hetherington.
