For more than ten thousand years, humans have been fascinated by a
seemingly innocuous plant with bright-colored fruits that bite back
when bitten. Ancient New World cultures from Mexico to South
America combined these pungent pods with every conceivable meat and
vegetable, as evident from archaeological finds, Indian artifacts,
botanical observations, and studies of the cooking methods of the
modern descendants of the Incas, Mayas, and Aztecs. In Chile
Peppers: A Global History, Dave DeWitt, a world expert on chiles,
travels from New Mexico across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and
Asia chronicling the history, mystery, and mythology of chiles
around the world and their abundant uses in seventy mouth-tingling
recipes.
