As well as more than 140 sizzling recipes designed to titillate your palate, there is an extensive illustrated guide to the many types of chilies and chili products, and tips for storing and preparing fresh and dried chilies. There are also instructions for making your own curry powders, pastes, spice mixtures, sambals and masalas to give your food an authentically spicy taste. Learn how to make the most of chilies in six chapters that cover every aspect of cooking with this versatile ingredient, including an inspiring selection of scintillating salsas, dips and extras; tasty soups, appetizers and snacks; fiery fish and shellfish dishes; scorching poultry and meat recipes; vibrant vegetarian main courses and side dishes; and even piquant salads.
