full of spice. This is a follow-up to the book 'Growing Chillies',
but it isn't just a recipe book for chilli growers. It is a guide
for all chilli enthusiasts who are looking for interesting ways to
make the most of their passion. Sections include: Specific chillies
and their uses; fresh, dried, smoked or powdered How to dry, pickle
and smoke your own chillies Make your own sauces Over 50 tasty
chilli recipes from hot sauces to desserts The author draws on his
experience in commercial production of fresh, dried and smoked
chillies to share invaluable advice on their uses in over 50
delicious recipes. If you think a book all about chillies will blow
your socks off, think again, many recipes take advantage of the
subtle and diverse range of flavours, as well as the heat.
