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

By A Customer

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.

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

By	Marie (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy!, April 26, 2009

By	Linda S. Schultz "Linda Smith Schultz" (Spring, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Quick and easy, not complicated at all! Instructions are concise and easy to follow. The fold over booklet makes it easy to read the instructions while cooking. The ingredients are easy to find. Wish I had found this book sooner!
