 Great Recipes February 26, 2000
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book is worth it for the recipes alone. There is a great recipe for Chipotle Chile Sauce that I have tried and was great. There are also all sorts of other recipes such as a mole sauce, and even chile-infused vodka! A good variety of recipes from all over the world.The recipes can of course be tweaked so they're not as hot. But if you really don't like spicy food, you're looking at the wrong category of cookbook!
Encyclopedia November 22, 2008
This is a very informative ENCYCLOPEDIA about peppers. If you want history, origin and facts about peppers this book will give you the information. I hoped to have more recipes in one location versus having to search for them. I gave it a 5 star because it is well written for researchers or students.

 Spicy Hot! October 17, 2001
This is a gem from Dave Dewitt the King of ALL Peppers. He knows his stuff about all there is to know about chiles, from mild to the 'insanity' peppers! It goes into great detail about the history of peppers to how to grow them. The book's layout is in an A-Z easy to find guide. The index is very good as well so you can find what you're after. I have made a scrumptious HOT HOT beef curry from this book, just to give you something to make your mouth water. A good addition to your chile book collection or library!

This is truly an encyclopedia, giving more detail and history than most folks would ever want to know about the chili pepper. For the chili-head, though, it is must have knowledge. I enjoyed it.
