Habanero Pepper Pantry

Habanero Pepper Pantry

Get acquainted with one of the most distinctive flavors the chile world has to offer: the fruity, hot habanero. This die-cut little book offers approximately thirty recipes, from the basics (Essential Habanero Hot Sauce) to the unexpected (Creole Peanut Soup-a West African-influenced treat with habaneros, peanut butter, tomatoes, and coconut milk). There’s legend and lore about the colorful history of these peppers (a West Indies folktale describes how a mother inadvertently killed her children by using too much habanero in her broth!), and thorough listings of mail-order sources. As chock-full of inspiration as a well-stocked pantry, The Pepper Pantry: Habaneros is perfect for either beginning cooks or die-hard chile aficionados.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Small, but super!!!
Although the book only contains about 40 recipes, the intro, history, growing of the pepper, etc, etc. was very good. As with many of the “pepper” cook books, I would have liked to have seen the nutrition content (protein, carbs, calories,etc), but I can live without. If worried about fat content just add another habanero right?

This made a nice addition to the other 10 or so books I have on peppers…
