This book is for aficionados of hot, spicy food, the humble chilli inspires near-fanatical devotion. Chillies come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours - from long and thin to round and berry-like, and from green to fiery orange - and there is a huge variation in the degree of hotness (measured on the Scoville scale). There are some 400 varieties of chillies, ranging in strength from the mild jalapeno to the blisteringly hot habanero. Chillies are grown all over the world, and are an essential ingredient (fresh or dried) in many world cuisines. Indeed, it would be hard to imagine a curry, mole poblano or fajitas without the hot stuff. "The Hot Book of Chillies" is an essential companion to enjoying chillies, and covers the history and biology of the plants, how hotness is measured, chillies and health, nutritional and medicinal value and how to preserve and use chillies. A gallery of chillies presents approximately 100 of the most popular chilli varieties, and the book includes a selection of recipes for salsas, hot sauces, jams and chutneys.

I brought this book thinking that it may offer advice on subjects such as growing............. Unfortunately the book has a lot of useful info on various types of chillie and sort of what they look like with illustrations. This book is great if you are new to chillies and want to get a few ideas introducing them into your food. If you are wanting quite specific information on types and growing this is not the book for you. I have given it a 4 star rating as it is a good book none the less and has it has a section at the back which will put you in touch with some of the best known chillie distributors in the UK!

Chilli obsession is a strange illness, but there are many sufferers. I even manage to grow them on a balcony in Brussels. The book is nice and well illustrated. Pretty pictures. The recipe section is not very extensive, but is quite varied
