5 Stars Pretty in Pesto
Maybe it was the long winter without end. Or the snowstorm in late April. Or, belonging to a Food blog where we talked about pesto for 3 pages.

However, while visiting an herb site, I found a link for this book and without hestitation, ordered it from Amazon. I’ve had it two days, and have made four of the pestos and 6 of the dishes…need I say more….it’s FABULOUS!!!

Classic pesto, sage pesto, anchovy pesto…the list goes on and on. And it arrived right when I was having the family over for Mother’s Day, hence the mad dash for dinner and lunch dishes.

For the list price of $5.95 or less (through Amazon) you CAN’T go wrong picking up this little book for yourself, and pesto loving friends!

The Red Chile Bible Southwestern Classic and Gourmet Recipes

The Red Chile Bible Southwestern Classic and Gourmet Recipes

The long-awaited companion to The Green Chile Bible, this vibrant collection of rich red chilli recipes celebrates the blending of historic Spanish, Indian, and western frontier traditions in southwestern cookery, and explores some of the best European and Asian contributions to the latest Southwest ‘fusion’ style. The Red Chile Bible caters to the desires of every chilli cook — from the passion for finding new ways to cook with chilli to the ambition to achieve the ultimate classic salsa. It covers the gamut of Southwest styles from the traditional to contemporary, from down-home rustic to unashamedly elegant, from comfortably mellow to fiery hot. Reflecting the modern cook’s commitment to natural flavours and healthy foods, The Red Chile Bible emphasises fresh ingredients and dishes ‘made from scratch’ but the authors have also suggested shortcuts and substitute ingredients to save preparation time, without sacrificing quality or flavour. Providing important practical help for the novice chilli cook, the authors give complete information on the major southwestern and Mexican red chillies, along with tips on buying, storing, and handling fresh, dried, crushed, and powdered red chillies. A glossary and a list of sources are included.

1 Star not good
The book was fine and made a great gift. Amazon screwed up not only the order by the credit back to my account.
