5.0 out of 5 stars It Hurts So Good!, June 2, 2000

By	Luis J. Fernandez "kinglou" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own several so called spicy cookbooks and this one lives up to it's name and is by far my favorite one. It's chok'ful of delicious one page recipes from around the globe. Great muligitawny and the "Evil Jungle Peanut Chicken" is awesome. For the most part the recipes are easy to prepare and have readily availble ingredients as well as a pretty accurate hotness scale. My wife & I have probably made 15-20 of the recipes already and thats not counting the ones we repeated. You will need a large pan because the recipes make copious amounts of food. I recommend a big wok and a big, big glass of beer to chase the fire down. Oh yeah, you'll also need a towel to wipe the spice induced sweat off your brow. ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire in the Pot!, July 6, 2001

By A Customer

This is an absolutely fabulous cookbook, even for those with a little milder palate! I would recommend the Cajun gumbo and the Black Bean and Kidney Bean soup for any meal!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Spicy Cookbook I've Encountered!, March 29, 2000

By A Customer

My wife & I have bought many cookbooks and we usually only make 1 or 2 recipes. This book is full of so many recipes that we want to make that the top of the book is alive with post-it notes sticking out! So far we've made about 10 and we're still going! That doesn't count all the ones we've cooked more than once. A warning: The recipes are very very hot! We love it! Another bonus is that the recipes are contained to 2 easy to read pages and instructions are easy to follow.

Buy this cookbook! You won't be sorry!
