Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Two new books from dedicated chile lovers. DeWitt is coeditor of The Whole Chile Pepper magazine and author of The Whole Chile Pepper Book ( LJ 11/15/90), among others. This latest collection grew out of a column in the magazine featuring chefs around the country. Here are 140 chile-based recipes from restaurants of all types, from taco joints to the elegant Mansion on Turtle Creek, and inspired by cuisines from Thai to West Indian to Tex-Mex. Spicy food has gained many devotees, but the number of books on the subject is multiplying; for larger collections. Miller is chef/owner of Santa Fe's Coyote Cafe and author of Coyote Cafe ( LJ 2/15/90). His new book is an important resource for all those fans of chile dishes, for it is a fully illustrated guide to more than 90 fresh and dried chiles. Most recent spicy foods cookbooks include brief chile glossaries, but Miller's descriptions and Frank's full-color photographs should make identification easy for any cook confronted with the wide variety of chiles now available. Recommended for most collections.

The Great Chile Book5
A great reference book for "foodies". Chiles are properly broken down into fresh and dried forms. The chile photos are very accurate. Each chile has description of growing areas, heat level and recipe applications. I sell specialty chiles so this book makes a great gift to my customers.

The Great Chili Book5
I purchased this book for my husband. He wanted a book that described all the different types of chilis and their degree of hotness. He loves to cook with chili peppers so this book was the ideal gift to use as a reference guide.

I was delighted when I discovered this jewel on Amazon. Now this book is is my kitchen, as a bible. I must admit that I am some sort of capsaicin addict and my oppinion is not objective.
