Book Description
From Library Journal
Andrews is the author of the highly acclaimed Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums ( LJ 4/1/85), a beautifully illustrated botanical guide. That book appeared just as the pepper craze began, and since then Andrews has been besieged
with requests for more information on the subject, particularly about cooking and eating peppers. This authoritative but eminently readable work is her answer, a sourcebook as well as a cookbook. Her fascinating and engrossing text (even the footnotes
make interesting reading) combines history, anthropology, and botany as she explores the origins of the capsicums, their travels, and their cultural and culinary roles. A detailed guide to the most widely available chile peppers is followed by some 200
appetizing recipes; about half of these are the author's, the other half from renowned restaurant chefs and cooks with an affinity for hot peppers. An essential purchase.
