From the Actor
Hi, I'm Dave DeWitt and they call me "The Pope of Peppers." It was a blast to write, co-produce, and star in the first-ever documentary on chile peppers. We tried to make it as entertaining as possible, so you may find yourself laughing (I hope). Please see the other two volumes in this set of "Heat Up Your Life," and please note my books on chiles for sale at amazon.com.
Product Description
Our hungry host Dave DeWitt searches the southern latitudes of the world for exotic chile pepper cuisine. In this third and final episode of Heat Up Your Life!, you are treated to a culinary traveling feast. Dave travels "down island" to learn firsthand the secrets of Jerk--a spicy Jamaican barbecue. He also meets famed Jamaican chef Norma Shirley in Montego Bay where she prepares island food that's both haute and hot! Miami Heat takes on a new meaning as our intrepid host explores fiery Nuevo-Cuban food in Little Havana with author Steven Raichlen and meets the chefs of South Beach's cutting-edge Yuca restaurant. At the cooking school at Central Market in Austin, the talented chefs of Hudson's on the Bend show how chile peppers have invaded miles and miles of Texas cuisine. Care to try jalapeno ice cream? New Mexican cooking expert Rosa Rajkovic teaches Dave how to prepare a sumptuous stuffed poblano chile over sirloin with a black bean chili topping. Our man DeWitt is back in the swamps, traveling to the bayous of Louisiana where even alligator meat gets the chile pepper treatment. From elegant chile cuisine in Mexico City, to funky and exotic mole sauces in Oaxaca, to grilled grouper on a Cancun beach, to the palatial setting of Las Maanitas in Cuernavaca, Dave gets a "south of the border" education on Mexicans' chile pepper fixation.
All this and more in the third and final episode of
Heat Up Your Life! The ultimate chile pepper experience.
