From chillies and chipotle to wasabi and ginger, every culture has its own way of making food that sizzles. This work brings together more than 250 recipes for hot stuff from around the globe. It also explores the main ingredients that give food its spice, with details on their history and horticulture, as well as how to use, and grow them.
Dave DeWitt (known in food circles as the "Pope of Peppers") is the publisher, and Nancy Gerlach the food editor of "Fiery-Foods & BBQ" magazine. They now offer a truly comprehensive guide to the use of hot spices in international cuisine. Includes sample menus with recipes for "cool down" dishes.
