Variety is said to be the spice of life and, whereas for many  millions
of people throughout the world, life has been a variety of  spices for
centuries, it's only thanks to early explorers, who  returned home with
shiploads of exotic spices, that Western culinary  art was transformed.
THE BOOK OF HOT & SPICY FOODS has a collection of over 100 beautifully
illustrated step-by-step recipes which include traditional favorites
like Steak au Poivre, Mexican Chili con Carne, Indonesian Gado Gado
and Creole Jambalaya, plus many Indian and Oriental dishes and lots  of
sizzling new surprises and variations on a theme. Whether it's a
simple snack, a teatime treat or an elegant dinner party dish you're
after, this book has a recipe for all occasions.  Spices are invaluable
for adding that special blend of heat or  fragrance and pungency to all
manner of savory and sweet dishes.  Don't be daunted by those
unfamiliar to you - try them, you'll never  know what you've been
missing, but bear in mind that some are  stronger and fierier than
others. If experimenting, it is wise to  start with small amounts - you
can always add more to taste at a  later stage. And remember - the
amount of spices in many of the  following recipes are suggested as a
guide, so feel free to increase  or decrease the amounts according to
personal preference.  It is the chili (in its various forms) that adds
heat to a dish. You  will find instructions on how to prepare this
fiery spice (without  getting burnt!), plus many recipes using it.
There is also plenty of  information on all the other hot spices -
muctard, pepper, cloves and  ginger - plus, of course, the more
fragrant, aeromatic ones like  cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, etc. And no
spice book would be complete  without recipes for making Curry Powder,
Garam Masala, Five Spice  Powder, Mixed Spice, Pickling Spice and
Harissa (a Middle Eastern  favorite).  The follwing recipes range from
mild to hot or just wonderfully  spicy. It is surely a collection to
please not only hot and spicy  food-lovers everywhere, but also
tempting enough to persuade the  "uninitiated" to sample the delights
of spicy foods!  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
