Chile peppers bring both sweet and fiery zest to dishes - discover
a fascinating and seemingly endless variety within the pages of
this delightful book. Contrary to popular belief, a pepper does not
need to make your eyes water or start a fire in your mouth to
qualify as a chile. Chile is simply the common name for the fruit
of the capsicum plant. Chiles come in a wide variety of colours,
shapes and flavours. And spellings: chile in the original,
authentic Spanish, chilli in English. This comprehensive book
(which serves as both a reference and a cookbook) from bestselling
author and expert researcher Judith Finlayson takes you through the
many varieties of chiles and provides absorbing information on
everything from the historical and geographic origins of chiles,
information on The Scoville Scale (it measures the hotness of a
chile and was invented by Wilbur Scoville), health benefits and
finally, 250 delicious and inventive recipes. From fiery Tex-Mex
inspired meals to savoury and sweet Thai, this collection of
recipes are sure to make you a lover of all things chile! Here's
just a tempting sample of the dishes that await you: Appetizers
like Cheese Arepas, Fresh Cucumber Kimchi, Guacamole, Indian-Style
Roti are the perfect jumping off point for any dinner and sumptuous
soups like Mulligatawny, Thai Coconut Chicken and Pepper Black Bean
Soup bring warmth and comfort on a cold winter's day. Chiles add
their wonderful and distinctive flavour to fish and seafood and
this is highlighted beautifully in Jamaican-Style Fish Cakes,
Paella, Shrimp Creole, Bahia-Style Chowder. And Judith's beef and
veal recipes marry beautifully with chiles - resulting in
delectable Mexican Meatballs, Chinese Beef with Orange, Beef
Fajitas and Ropa Vieja. There are also recipes for sides, fresh
salsas, sambals and chutneys, not to mention sauces, marinades,
dressings and condiments. You're sure to enjoy the wealth of
information and recipe in this book that's dedicated to the
delights of chiles.
