Even the most creative cooks sometimes need to spice up their menus, and there's nothing like a fiery flavor to add a kick to ho-hum cuisine. From chiles and chipotle to wasabi and ginger, every culture has its own way of making food that sizzles with excitement. In The Spicy Food Lover's Bible renowned fiery foods experts Dave DeWitt and Nancy Gerlach bring together more than 250 recipes for hot stuff from around the globe, along with a wealth of related food information.
The ultimate book on the subject, this authoritative guide begins by exploring the main ingredients that give the world's food its spice, with details on their history and horticulture, as well as how to use, purchase, and grow them. The recipes that follow-Moroccan Charmoula, Gravlax with Creamy Mustard Sauce, Kung Po Chicken, Tamarind Mint Shrimp Curry, and many more-display an astonishing range of tastes and preparations, from the mildly piquant to the red-hot. Also featured are guidelines for putting together spicy meals with the ideal combination of flavors, colors, and textures, including "cool-down dishes" and beverage pairings. The Spicy Food Lover's Bible is the only book home cooks will ever need to turn up the heat on their everyday cooking. He has written more than 30 cookbooks, including The Whole Chile Pepper Book, and has appeared as a spicy foods expert on numerous television programs and in major national magazines. Nancy Gerlach, a registered dietitian, is the food editor of Fiery-Foods & BBQ magazine. She was one of the founding editors of Chile Pepper magazine and has written for Travel & Leisure, Eating Well, and the New York Daily News. Gerlach has co-authored many of DeWitt's previous books.

“Jonesing for the sounds, smells and tastes of the tropics? Salvador Molly's Sun Stop Cafe is the closest you'll get in this evergreen, rainy corner of the world. Willingly suspend disbelief and let reggae music, surf videos, wacky tropical paraphernalia (Elvis included) and smart-alecky, Hawaiian shirt-clad staff transport you to a sunny place where drinks are strong, food is spicy and the party never stops.
“Come with an appetite because plates are loaded with pirate's cookin', featuring recipes stolen from all over the world. Caribbean bollitos, a falafel-like ball of ground black-eye peas, cilantro and garlic, make a great starter. Oyster tacos remain deliciously succulent, lightly fried in Creole cornmeal and swathed in salsa fresco and pickled onions. Tamardino barbecue beef is a luscious mound of tangy and sweet pulled beef accompanied by firm red beans, spicy slaw and griddle corn bread.” - Citysearch Editorial Review, by Kristin Kaye
