With Dave DeWitt and Paul W. Bosland's first book, The Pepper Garden, chile pepper lovers learned how to plant, tend, and harvest their own pepper gardens. Now with this companion volume, the authors team up again to present what is without a doubt the most comprehensive guide to chile pepper identification ever published. Whether you're a novice simply looking for an unusual plant for your backyard or a professional gardener hoping to cultivate rare pepper species not otherwise available in your region, this book is the resource you'll need to correctly identify the hundreds of varieties of peppers that grow worldwide. For four years, DeWitt and Bosland grew the 315 varieties of pepper plants described in this book with seeds they collected during research expeditions to Hungary, Mexico, Malaysia, Trinidad, Thailand, and a host of other pepper-producing locales. Many of the peppers they grew have never before been photographed in the field, and many others do not yet have names in English. Wouldn't you like to pick your own cochabamba, yaquitania, or dedo do moca? With this guide, you can. |

Chile peppers have been tingling human taste buds for more than ten thousand years. First eaten in pre-Columbian Central and South America, the pungent pods have spread to every corner of the world. (Columbus carried the seeds back to Europe, starting the global conquest.) Spicy-food authorities Dave DeWitt and Nancy Gerlach document the chile pepper's history and lore and provide over 180 recipes, ranging from mild to throat-scorching. Beginning in the Western Hemisphere, the authors re-create vanished Aztec and Mayan cuisines, explore Caribbean and Latin American dishes, and travel to the American Southwest for Tamale Pie, Chiles Rellenos Casserole, and Texas Fajitas. They track the chile through Europe and North Africa and then south of the Sahara. India and Burma depend on chiles for the jolt in Tandoori Chicken, Spicy Samosas, and Ginger Noodle Salad, while the rest of asia, too, has succumbed to the heat in dishes like Singapore Chile Crab and Citrus Cashew Lobster. Closer to home, Creole classics - Red Beans and Rice, Crayfish Etoufee, and Andouille Jambalaya - are beloved fiery fare. Additional chile-related features include: a field guide with full-color photographs identifying twenty-seven often-confused varieties; extensive gardening and preservation instructions; mail-order seed sources; the latest health claims; and a special "Whole Chile Pepper Diet." Cooks, gardeners, and the hopelessly addicted will find everything they need to know about chile peppers here. |
