Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Andrews is the author of the highly acclaimed Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums ( LJ 4/1/85), a beautifully illustrated botanical guide. That book appeared just as the pepper craze began, and since then Andrews has been besieged with requests for more information on the subject, particularly about cooking and eating peppers. This authoritative but eminently readable work is her answer, a sourcebook as well as a cookbook. Her fascinating and engrossing text (even the footnotes make interesting reading) combines history, anthropology, and botany as she explores the origins of the capsicums, their travels, and their cultural and culinary roles. A detailed guide to the most widely available chile peppers is followed by some 200 appetizing recipes; about half of these are the author's, the other half from renowned restaurant chefs and cooks with an affinity for hot peppers. An essential purchase.

This review is from: Red Hot Peppers/a Cookbook for the Not So Faint of Heart (Hardcover)
This is a cookbook to read front to back. I like it so much I have given it as a gift and am replacing it after losing it while moving. Everything I tried in this book turned out very well.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Much more than a cookbook,
By
This review is from: Red Hot Peppers/a Cookbook for the Not So Faint of Heart (Hardcover)
Jean Andrews, who seems to have devoted her life to the study and cooking of the hot pepper, has written a fascinating book that is much more than a cookbook. Her historical researches and insights into the dispersion of the pepper throughout the world (beginning at Columbus's time!) are fascinating. She explains why many national cuisines include the pepper, and why some do not. This is a very enjoyable read. I would have given five stars were it not for Andrews' sometimes pedantic reference to scientific names of various peppers.
