Editorial Reviews

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.
