The Great Chile Book: [A Cookbook]

by Mark Charles Miller, John Harrisson, Lois Ellen Frank (Photographer)

The COYOTE CAFE cookbook was a howling success that spawned a wonderful pair of posters created by Mark Miller. This full-color handbook presents an expansion of the posters' information in book form, covering 100 chiles (50 each of fresh and dried), each with a color photograph, hotness scale, and brief description. THE GREAT CHILE BOOK also includes background information, an introduction to the use of chiles in the cuisines of Mexico and the Southwest, and delicious recipes from the kitchen of the Coyote Cafe. This is a treasured guide for kitchen and market, and a visually stunning companion to COYOTE CAFE.

This is a go-to book on chiles! Great descriptions, photos, heat reference. Once you begin to integrate chiles into your cooking, you will see how differently flavorful meals become.

Although I'm generally a fan of Tenspeed Press books, I was somewhat disappointed in this one. It may cover a great many types of chile peppers, but I'm come across more in grocery stores that are NOT in this book than I'm used to finding with Tenspeed titles. It's good for what it's got, but somewhat lacking overall.

A nice introduction to chile culture but not an in depth analysis.

[Melanie Hedley]

Not something you would sit down and read, more of a reference book. Pictures are spot on and great descriptions
