Big Flavors of the Hot Sun: Recipes and Techniques from the Spice Zone
By Chris Schlesinger, John Willoughby, Alan Witschonke
William Morrow & Co - 1994
I love this book and have used it lots. Rarely has there been any kind of disappointment.
The introduction starts with one of my favorite food quotes: "Subtlety in food does not impress me. I like big, loud flavors—sweet, sour, hot, salty, aromatic, pungent, tingling—preferably all in the same bite."
What I *don't* like about this book is that I coughed up money for a hardback and it fell apart almost immediately. This wasn't from abuse, but from poor manufacturing quality. My copy of The Thrill of the Grill (S&W's earlier book) has done the same thing. Shame on the publishers, William Morrow and Company, Inc!
