Jane Butel's Hotter Than Hell: Hot & Spicy Dishes from Around the World - Softcover

Butel's "hell" is undefined, but her recipes are pungent, often imaginative, and just what she says: Hot! Instant Bloody Marias, actually cherry tomatoes dipped in tequila and then in a dry hot pepper seasoning mixture, divided my guests into two camps: those who wanted more and those who thought the rest of us were crazy. It's not just the various peppers and chiles, but horseradish, ginger, garlic, onions, Mexican oregano, and a broad range of other seasonings used to achieve a multilayered flavor in her recipes. Butel, an an experienced author and lover of spicy foods, wisely includes a few desserts and both soothing and fiery beverages. A fiendish success. SP
