BOOK REVIEW: 101 Chillies to Try Before you Die by David Floyd
Chillies add so much of spice and warmth to an everyday meal.We Asians just can't get enough of the fruity yet devilishly hot pods that goes into soups, stews and many other dishes. These fiery friends of ours are so popular that chili festivals pop up in many countries like Australia and the U.S.
I personally have a high tolerance for spicy food and love the numbing, searing heat that chillies provide. There's something in the sensation that drives me more towards the spicy side. If you are just like me, then this is just the book for you.
Work your way up the Scoville scale (a chili's spiciness is gauged by the Scoville units) with this book.With fun facts, stats, growing tips and much more, this is the ultimate challenge for those who love to test their taste buds.
Not just concerned with the hottest of the hot, this chili-lover of an author takes you from sweet to super hot with expertly chosen chillies to tingle your tastebuds and blow your mind. This book is jam-packed with information not suitable for the faint-hearted or weak-tongued.
Interestingly enough, I have used this book as a guide to find spicy food in places that I travel. It's tearingly awesome to go on a sweaty chili food tour and those akin to me can relate. As you can see from the tag on the book's cover, I purchased this one-of-a-kind book at Book XCess Starling Mall.
Finding that perfect gift to fill a Christmas stocking for a book lover who also loves all things hot and spicy? Look no further than to purchase this tome which is sure to put a smile on his or her face. Merry Christmas!
