About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Harmon Houghton is a chile aficionado, cook, publisher and above all chilinista that appreciates everything chile. This book is a product of over twenty years of cooking and eating chile from a simple bowl of red to chile BBQ's, enchiladas and everything in between using New Mexico chiles from mild Anaheim and Big Jim chile's at 500 Scoville heat Units (SHU) to Habaneros at 300,000+ (SHU). It is the flavor and taste combined with the addictive nature and health benefits of endorphin producing capsasin that keeps him going.

"Chile is the spice of life"

Review:

With 250 chile recipes covering the gamut of delicious concoctions from the Land Of Enchantment, this "bible" is also an encyclopedia, a culinary reference work, the "Joy of Chile Cooking," and a loving celebration of our "state vegetable," which is actually a fruit. What are particularly useful are the very specific chapters--like one devoted to chile rice dishes and another for salads as a meal, and a very good one on chile for breakfast. This book will reside on my kitchen bookshelf! --Dave DeWitt, "The Pope of Peppers" --Dave Dewitt - Fiery Foods
