Hot & Spicy Recipes

Rating:
Summary: Mouth- and eye-watering recipes!
Review: Hot & Spicy Recipes is a delightful addition to any cookbook collection. A compact, no-frills handbook (there are no photos), this little beauty is loaded with a variety of recipes sure to please fans of extremely spicy food. The recipes are short and simple and there is a detailed description of the different types of peppers used throughout the book, including a heat index that outlines how hot is hot. My only complaint is that the recipes don't tell you how many servings each one yields, so you have to do a bit of guesswork as to portion sizes. Also, the instructions can be a bit vague (example: "Bake bread." At what temperature? For how long?). But, if you can muddle your way around a kitchen, you will have no problem preparing these dishes. Most recipes include ingredients you already have in your cupboard, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how a dash of something hot and spicy can breathe new life into some standard dishes. And the barbecue sauce recipes are to die for! All in all, this is a great little book that no pepper lover should be without, and at such a great price Hot & Spicy Recipes should be a welcome addition to any well-rounded collection.
