Every batch of Hot Babe Hot Sauce is lovingly hand crafted in a professional kitchen
by creator and artisan chef Sandra Bocas who learned the recipe from her
grandmother when she was a little girl growing up in Port of Spain. “Many families
in Trinidad make their own signature hot sauces,” she says. “And this is ours.
“In the Caribbean they call it ‘pepper sauce,’ but to me it’s a sauce and a seasoning
that goes on and in everything—meats, fish, poultry, vegetables—a palette of tastes
and color that create many moments of delight as the sauce wakes up the tongue.”

Hot Babe History
El Diamante Negro, a Spanish-Creole restaurant, was started by the Bocas family over 50
years ago in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Although the restaurant is no longer in operation, its
fame—and its infamous hot sauce—live on, brought to life under a new (and very hot)
name by a very hot granddaughter who continued the family’s fine food tradition in the
US quite by accident.
“I wanted to take something other than wine to dinner when visiting friends. So I started
taking hot sauce. The taste of my grandmother’s recipe had always stayed with me, and
I’d been using it in my own cooking for years. People just went crazy for it. Everybody
always asked me ‘when are you coming back to dinner again?’ Then one night a couple
friends said, ‘Why don’t you just bottle it and sell it?’”
A self-admitted ‘roll up her sleeves, get it done’ kind of person, Hot Babe owner, Sandra
Bocas, found a commercial kitchen, got a food handler’s license and went to work. With
a 70% you-taste-it-you-buy-it rate (dangerous!) her hot sauce quickly it made onto the
shelves in local co-ops and grocery stores in Washington State.
And the rest is, as they say, is history.

Meet the Hot Babe
Born in Venezuela, raised in Trinidad and educated in
England and Wales, Sandra Bocas is truly a woman of
many cultures.
In the 1960s she started modeling in London and
Paris for fashion designer Zandra Rhodes. “Somebody
asked me to do some pics when I was 19,” she says.
“And I did and it changed my life. Funny. You don’t
know you’re shaping your history when you’re in it.
It just happens.”
At age 21 she moved to New York City and began modeling for top-flight international
fashion magazines. Mingling with the rich and famous, she made history as one of the first
Caribbean models to make the pages and walk the runways for Vogue magazine. “It was an
amazing life,” she says. “Modeling shaped my taste and desires to be in an artist.”
After meeting her husband in New York, she moved to Germany in 1992 where she
continued to work while raising a daughter. In 2011 she moved back to the US, this time to
the other coast, settling near Olympia, Washington.
Since then she has worked as an artist, creating astonishing portraits in acrylics and mixed
media that have been shown in galleries coast-to-coast. In 2014 she expanded her artistry to
food. “I grew up in this fabulous restaurant atmosphere with recipes my grandmother
passed down to my parents who then took them into the family restaurant. I learned a deep
respect for food from my family. It’s a living thing, and it’s really important to focus and
pay attention to your food as you prepare and create … and eat!”
A culmination of her many years of travel, culture and artistic work, Hot Babe has been an
extremely satisfying venture. “I’ve done many things in life and have matured into doing
one thing beautifully. Hot Babe inspires every cook to play and create. And that makes me
very happy. That’s what food is supposed to do. “
