What these folks don't know about chili peppers, you don't need to know. If you are a fan of the monthly mag, The Chili Pepper, you know the Dave Dewitt/Nancy Gerlach team by recipe, if not by faces or names. One of the things I like most about this cookbook is the fact that the authors are aware everyone isn't a 'chili head' (loving everything that will sear the skin off your tongue in a single bite). Thus, there are recipes all along the line -- from no-fire to death-by-chili peppers.

This book is a cookbook with extras. If you've ever wanted a readable explanation of Scoville Units of Heat (rating system for chili peppers) or to read interesting facts about the chili pepper, look no more. Enjoy.
