About the Author

Please allow me to introduce "Texas Peppers" the Jalapeño cookbook, and myself. My name is Peggy Struble, a native Texan who proudly served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. I was provided an opportunity to experience many different types of cuisine and have spent years researching, testing and developing recipes during my travels throughout the world. All that time I was building a recipe file and knew that someday I would write a cookbook. Recently I was afforded the opportunity to pursue this dream.

1.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected, June 3, 2009

By 

Marie (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Texas Peppers: The Jalapeno Cookbook (Flavors of Home) (Plastic Comb)

My biggest disappointment was the size and quality for the cost. This book is a very small, postcard size, spiral bound along the top, homemade looking book. There are no photos. Some of the recipes really are great, but pretty basic, and include ingredients like ketchup, velveeta cheese, canned chilies, pickled jalapenos, "packaged mexican salad dressing mix," canned chili, canned refried beans, canned olives, mayonnaise, and refrigerated pizza crust.

I have a friend who will love this book, but I found very few recipes I would make without having to creatively substitute for all the pre-processed food ingredients. I think it would be worth $5 at the most, even less than that to me. I actually bought it as a gift to give with a rack for roasting stuffed peppers, but there were only three recipes for stuffed peppers, one of which required frying, and one was no-bake canned peppers.

I will say that the book description does portray its size. I think I just jumped too quickly on the name and cover photo. Also, a word of warning to vegetarians, many if not most of the recipes include meat.

Index card sized recipe book contains no pictures and is just an unorganized mix of anything containing Jalapenos. It has only one or two recipes for stuffed peppers, so if you are buying it to go with the Jalapeno cooker - don't bother. I would not recommend paying more than $2 for this cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, August 20, 2002

If you like jalapenos and spicy foods, you'll love this book! My copy came at the perfect time - just when the jalapenos in my garden were starting to ripen.
