Championship Chili, It Really Is,
By
This review is from: Championship Chili: Top Cookoff Winning Recipes (Plastic Comb)
CHAMPIONSHIP CHILI is one of ten chili books I refer to when I want to make chili differently than the two recipes I usually use. We have chili a lot in our house and both my Dad and my Mama have their favorite ways of cooking it. I grew up with their recipes and I have documented them in one of my "Amazon So You'd Like to Guides" and I hope you take a look at it. Both recipes are delicious, but when you've had them as often as I've had 'em, you sort of yearn for something a bit different. So, once a week, usually on Saturdays, I break out these ten books and search for a chili recipe I either haven't tried, or one I haven't made in a long time. Of course, like all cooks, I fudge a bit with the ingredients, but not all that much. I like to stick pretty close to the recipes, at least the first few times I make it, so I can get an idea of what the writer/recipe maker had intended.And let me tell you, you'd be surprised at the subtleties there are in a chili recipe. As they say, no two chile recipes were created equal, but the recipes in Championship Chili have never let me down. I've got a lot of chili books, have tried a lot of recipes over the years, but the recipes here, like the recipes in my other nine fave books, have been consistently good. You can't go wrong with CHAMPIONSHIP CHILI.

Don't believe all in Book,
By LEEP "Lee" (Garland, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Championship Chili: Top Cookoff Winning Recipes (Plastic Comb)
The book gives a great history to Chili cookoffs. It also has great recepies although they all don't tell the whole story of the recepies. I have tried several and haven't won with any of them yet. Yes I consider myself a chili head and I am still looking for that perfect recepie. Thought this book would help. Probably will if I conbine several recepies together. Very easy book to read. Really enjoyed it.

Very small book,
This review is from: Championship Chili: Top Cookoff Winning Recipes (Plastic Comb)
This is a cute book but I should have checked the size more carefully - it is very small!
