The New Zealand Chili Handbook

The man who created NZ's answer to Tabasco sauce - Kaitaia Fire - brings his passion for chilies to the page.

Each variety is photographed in colour with information about planting, harvesting and storing, as well as any curative properties found in the plant or the fruit. In addition, the book contains a list of recipes - ranging from drinks and appetisers to main meals and desserts.

Detailed information is given about how to temper the heat of the chilies used in any recipe.
