Description
The Great American Chili Collection contains fifty-two chili recipes created by famous chefs and personalities like America’s favorite weather man Al Roker and celebrity chef Michael Symon, as well as by some lesser known but fantastic cooks all the same. You’ll discover recipes from popular chili parlors and restaurants, award-winning recipes from ISCC competitions, and even one of the first chili recipes ever published. Some of the recipes can be found in other publications and some are so obscure they are no longer available, even online.
We’ve also included the story of chili—how it came to the Southwest and by whom, and how its popularity spread across this fine country. There’s a section describing a number of popular chiles, both fresh and dried, to help you select the right ones for your brew. And finally, you’ll find a list of ingredients and tools that every chilihead should have in the pantry.
We hope you’ll enjoy using The Great American Chili Collection as much as we had putting it together.
