Product Description
Chile peppers are the essential ingredient in Mexican and southwestern cooking, but with endless varieties, names, types, and heat scales, chiles can be a challenge. To meet that challenge, Mary Lou and Jim Creechan have prepared a practical guide that tells how to roast, peel, and prepare chile peppers for authentic Mexican salsas, stuffers, and seasonings. This handy guide focuses on the most common chiles available in supermarkets, grouping them for easy use, recognition, and substitution. You'll read about the small, hot snappies generally used in salsas, the larger, milder stuffers, the smoothies, and the seasoners. The authors provide practical preparation tips, handy hints, classic recipes, and information on their personal favorites. Beginning with Chiles is the ultimate capsicum read for novice and connoisseur alike. Notes, comments, and anecdotes reflect the historical, cultural, and mythical significance of chiles, while recommended readings, chile charts, chile fiestas, and web sites are provided for the more adventurous readers. Versatile, practical, and informative, it's a total chile experience for all chile aficionados, seasoned or otherwise.

All you need to know about the care, handling and cooking of chiles is right here in this delightfully well-written book by a couple who obviously have great reverence for this southwestern cooking staple. Full of historical notes and preparation tips...this is more than just a recipe book! It is even great bedtime reading -- it makes you go to sleep dreaming of eating chiles in everything and smelling them roasting in the oven! Kudos to Mary Lou and Jim for THE ULTIMATE CHILE BOOK!
