Publishers Text

The chilli has been likened to the sun with planets of cooking, gardening, botany, medicine, chemistry, language, and folklore revolving around it. Here is an eclectic and fascinating look at the plant discovered by Columbus in the West Indies and taken back to Spain where it started the chilli craze that still thrives today. Along with humorous and bizarre facts about the chilli, the author includes a serious discussion of its medicinal uses and ways to grow and cook its many varieties.
