almost every spicy dish I tried in this book was quite good
"The Hot and Spicy Cookbook red hot and sizzling dishes from Around the World"by Linda Fraser (2003) is a version that was published in 1991 that I picked up (this was hard cover version) for sale for relativley cheap ($6 and on sale). It has interesting recipes within its 256 pages. The step-by-step techniques along with the photos are really well done. The latest (p.148) Coleslaw in Triple- hot dressing was 8.9/10. I tried wasabi horsedish instead of regular and added some miracle whip salad dressing. It was fine not spectacular. But I have tried others in this book.
Cheddar and Jalapeno Quesadillas rated 9.6/10, while the San Franisco Chicken Wings which included Rice vinegar and orange peel were awseome (9.6/10)/ Spicy potato salad rated well (9.6/10 ). There are a lot more appetizers, ethnic entrees and more that look really good and I will try. If you like spicy foods look at this book and see what you think. ... Read more

Product Description
The long-awaited companion to The Green Chile Bible, this vibrant collection of rich red chilli recipes celebrates the blending of historic Spanish, Indian, and western frontier traditions in southwestern cookery, and explores some of the best European and Asian contributions to the latest Southwest 'fusion' style. The Red Chile Bible caters to the desires of every chilli cook -- from the passion for finding new ways to cook with chilli to the ambition to achieve the ultimate classic salsa. It covers the gamut of Southwest styles from the traditional to contemporary, from down-home rustic to unashamedly elegant, from comfortably mellow to fiery hot. Reflecting the modern cook's commitment to natural flavours and healthy foods, The Red Chile Bible emphasises fresh ingredients and dishes 'made from scratch' but the authors have also suggested shortcuts and substitute ingredients to save preparation time, without sacrificing quality or flavour.Providing important practical help for the novice chilli cook, the authors give complete information on the major southwestern and Mexican red chillies, along with tips on buying, storing, and handling fresh, dried, crushed, and powdered red chillies. A glossary and a list of sources are included. ... Read more

not good
The book was fine and made a great gift.Amazon screwed up not only the order by the credit back to my account.

Agh, my eyes
This book definitely focuses more on the "gourmet" side of things, so you won't find too many of the recipes you've come to know and love from that tin shack truck stop off the dirt road in Chimayo. There are still some gems in here, but my single biggest complaint has to be about the fact that the entire thing is printed in red ink. Not dark red, either; bright, vibrant, difficult-to-keep-your-eyes-on-the-page red. I'm sure somebody thought it would be a cute gimmick, but it wears off instantly.

I think that this book is a gem among modern cookbooks.
The red chile bible has brought the exciting red chile into my life and I am very grateful to the authors for creating such a masterpiece! I would recommend this bible to beginners and aficionados alike. ... Read more

A great book for the well educated chile-enthusiast!
Having traveled quite a bit in my life I've noticed how cultures all around the world prize their locally grown chile peppers.From India to Africa and from China to Cuba, they all have chile peppers that they believe are the best in the world.I am not sure that most people (even those in the afore mentioned countries with the expection of Cuba) realize that chiles are a new world agricultural find.Columbus brought them back to Spain then the Spanish and the Portuguese spread them across the globe.

I have read several books about the history of capsicum (the botanical word for the family) but none that went into as much detail as this one did.At times I felt that the author spent too much time with the minute details of where particular species of capsicum came from and where and when they arrived in other parts of the world.However, for the chile enthusiast who wants to know it all this is a very well researched book.

As always, I am dissappointed when a book like this one does not use photographs.The Pepper Trail does have some drawings and graphics but I would like it better if there were some photos of the peppers and of the dishes that were included in the recipe section.All in all I enjoyed this book and give it 4 stars. ...

Cooking in the Nude: Red Hot Lovers comes with a warning on the back cover: "We advise you to familiarize yourself with all the 'Vices and Spices' before you tempt your lover with a 'Sultry Starter'! And be sure you read each chapter and understand the importance of 'Warming Up' before you prepare an entrée like 'Smoldering Passions'!" In Red Hot Lovers, authors Debbie and Steve Cornewell put the spice back into your relationship with a collection of racy recipes for two. Recipe names such as When You're Haute You're Haute or Bedeviled Bayou lend this cookbook its wacky charm, while the actual dishes live up to your expectations, spicing up both your palate and your love life. Red Hot Lovers, one in a series of Cooking in the Nude cookbooks, is both fun to read and to cook from, but beware--some of these recipes could result in a romance that's too haute to handle! ...

Cooking in the Nude is nothing more than a misleading title
I ordered this book with high expectations which were quickly dispelled after opening the book.I guess the title is justified by a mild twist on words(ie. "Appeteaser") becuase I find no other reason for it.However, the fact that this piece of garbage(which I returned so minus one of those) has sold over 400, 000 copies has motivated me to wrie my own book.Thanks.

A note on safety
Sure, cook in the nude.Just wear an apron if you are working with hot grease.Be well. ... Read more
