Additional Details

Description: Some Like It Hotter is a lusty tribute to the ever-growing popularity of fiery cuisine from around the globe. Dubbed the official cookbook of a group of West Coast fire-eaters called "The Galvanized Gullet," this collection is the result of a lifelong passion for le cuisine hot. 

In her quest for culinary heat Geraldine Duncann has found recipes for fried chiles from Sichuan, searing curries from Ceylon, peppery onion fritters from India, sizzling chutney from Jamaica, flaming fried chicken from Mozambique, and blazing omelets from California. These diverse cuisines all share the lively roots of fiery cooking. Hot food is healthy food; it fires you up and cools you off. 

Ever the eclectic, Duncann has been considered a "culinary anthropologist" researching a common theme -- the right hot stuff. She describes, at length, the varieties of chile peppers along with their proper handling and preparation. She also details other spirited dishes featuring garlic, onions, mustards, horseradish, and ginger. An essential section entitled "Fire Extinguishers" provides recipes and suggestions for soothing desserts, cool beverages, and beers, a favored fire-extinguisher. Some Like It Hotter is more than just an international collection of tantalizingly hot recipes. It's a witty, personal look at the zesty interplay of life and food. Liberally spiced with a colorful style as ardent as many of its peppery recipes, Some Like It Hotter is more than a great cookbook ... it's a good read.
