Whoever has thought of chili as being even similar from recipe to recipe has never seen this book. I like it so much that I have decided to do like Julie and Julia and cook my way through it, and review the recipes. I will also keep a blog, so check it out and see the progress...will do 1 or 2 recipes per week. We live in Texas, and they take their chili seriously here, so let's put all these to the taste test!

I've made four of the chili's in this book and every one of them was too hot for my wife and a couple of them were too hot for me. The flavors are great and sometimes the heat doesn't hit you until later.

So be advised only get this book if you like it hot. If you don't like it hot be prepared to tone down the chili powder and pepper portions.

We entertain a lot, and there is nothing better than a dish that lets friends help themself whenever they like. The variety in this book is so wonderful ~ delicious gems that are unique and delicious. Directions are simple and comprehensive - call me when you have a pot ready and I'll be right over with the Sangria!

This is a fabulous book with many chile recipes. After buying one, I bought several more as gifts. Excellent - but only if you enjoy good food.

I have made a few basic chilis and they're great. I'm looking forward to the seafood chilis. I do have one question. Has anyone noticed the recipe that calls for 11 pounds of beef and 12 cups of beans, but only 1 onion. This looks incorrect to me. Anyone have any thoughts?
