Review by 'A Customer'
This book has it all--gorgeous colour illustrations, great identification guides, super recipes and fascinating history!! The authors' sense of humor is evident throughout (anyone who likes the burn/flavor of chiles HAS to have a sense of humor), but the recipes are serious business. I highly recommend this publication,and am very glad to see it still in print after so many years! C Williams

A total source book, everything one needs to know about chiles (sic) [chillies] is here. Part science book complete with botanical information, part history book with all the 411 on origins of the various chiles, but mostly a recipe book. The book shows the use of the chile in cuisines throughout the world. Many of the recipes offer a truly exotic, different cuisine for those who have adventurous taste buds. A great book to be used over and over again, year after year, your friends will be impressed when you serve them up something yummy they have never tried before.

This book has everything for the pepper-lover. Not only some tasty and unique recipes, but also history, interesting pepper facts, and information about cultures throughout the world that enjoy peppers. Plus, many of the recipes are not blazing-hot. Even includes recipes from Africa and Asia for a change of pace. The "Field Guide to Chiles" (with some color photos) is also very interesting. Think of this as the Food Network meets the Discovery Channel.
