Book Description
Welcome to Jalapeno Madness, the Jalapeno cookbook with Jalapeno Recipes Galore! This compendium of jalapeno recipes for every occasion has been years in the making. Perfect for the spicy food lover. We've got jalapeno pepper recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, desserts, poppers galore, salsas like you wouldn't believe, sauces, jellies and entire sections dedicated to grilling of all types, holiday recipes and more. This book is long and sorely overdue, especially since nobody has seen fit enough to create a good book dedicated specifically to the world's finest chili pepper. Books abound on peppers in general, but there are none that extol the true virtues of the jalapeno, my favorite pepper. And I'm sure I'm not alone! This book was borne of love for this wonderful pepper, and I am overjoyed to share my feelings with the world. Many of these recipes are pepper stand-alone recipes, meaning the jalapeno is the main focus of the meal. There are many, however, that could be made without the pepper, but what fun would that be? That's the point of the jalapeno. If you removed the peppers, the dishes would be bland, boring, and tedious to the tongue. Did your garden product an abundant harvest of jalapeno peppers this year? Have no idea what to do with all those jalapenos? Look no further. Enjoy!

A Feigned Madness

Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
Winner of the 2021 Phoenix Award in Historical Fiction from the Kops-Fetherling International Book Awards Winner of the 2021 Silver Reader View Reviewer's Choice Award in Historical Fiction The insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island is a human rat trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out. —Nellie Bly Elizabeth Cochrane has a secret. She isn’t the madwoman with amnesia the doctors and inmates at Blackwell’s Asylum think she is. In truth, she’s working undercover for the New York World. When the managing editor refuses to hire her because she’s a woman, Elizabeth strikes a deal: in exchange for a job, she’ll impersonate a lunatic to expose a local asylum’s abuses. When she arrives at the asylum, Elizabeth realizes she must make a decision—is she there merely to bear witness, or to intervene on behalf of the abused inmates? Can she interfere without blowing her cover? As the superintendent of the asylum grows increasingly suspicious, Elizabeth knows her scheme—and her dream of becoming a journalist in New York—is in jeopardy. A Feigned Madness is a meticulously researched, fictionalized account of the woman who would come to be known as daredevil reporter Nellie Bly. At a time of cutthroat journalism, when newspapers battled for readers at any cost, Bly emerged as one of the first to break through the gender barrier—a woman who would, through her daring exploits, forge a trail for women fighting for their place in the world.

Happiness Is a Serious Problem
Author: Dennis Prager
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061744883
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
In this unique blend of self-help and moral philosophy, perfect for fans of Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project or Dan Harris’ 10% Happier, talk-radio host Dennis Prager shows us that happiness isn’t just a value—it’s a moral obligation. When you ask people about their most cherished values, “happiness” is always at the top of the list. In this enduring happiness manifesto, Prager examines how happiness not only makes us better people, but has an effect on the lives of everyone around us—providing them with a positive environment in which to thrive and be happy themselves. Achieving that happiness won't be easy, though: to Prager, it requires a continuing process of counting your blessings and giving up any expectations that life is supposed to be wonderful. "Can we decide to be satisfied with what we have?" he asks. "A poor man who can make himself satisfied with his portion will be happier than a wealthy man who does not allow himself to be satisfied." Prager echoes other political commentators in complaining that too many people today see themselves as victims; he submits that the only way to achieve your desires is to take responsibility for your life rather than blaming others. If you're willing to put some thought into achieving a happier outlook, you will find plenty to mull over in Happiness Is a Serious Problem.

Chillies
Author: Heather Arndt Anderson
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1780236352

Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This book tells the story of the spicy berry's rise to prominence, showing that it was cultivated and venerated by the ancient people of Mesoamerica for millennia before Spanish explorers brought it back to Europe. It traces the chilli's spread along trading routes to every corner of the globe, and explores the many important spiritual and cultural links that we have formed with it, from its use as an aphrodisiac to, in more modern times, an especially masochistic kind of eating competition. Ultimately, the author uses the chili to tell a larger story of global trade, showing how the spread of spicy cuisine can tell us much about the global exchange--and sometimes domination--of culture.

Habanero Madness
Author: Michael J. Hultquist
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781494819224
Category : Cooking (Hot pepper sauces)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
More than 100 recipes incorporating the awesome habanero pepper. Powerful Starters, Sizzling Side Dishes, The Flaming Main Course, Savory Sauces and Spreads, Homemade Habanero Hot Sauces, Scorching Salsas, Sweet and Spicy, Vinegars and Infusion, and More. BRING ON THE HABANERO HEAT! From the Introduction... Habanero peppers weren't very popular where I grew up. They simply weren't well known in the United States outside of small subgroups of people who loved to walk the line of fiery foods. The hottest thing you could find at the grocery store was the excellent Serrano pepper, or perhaps the ubiquitous jalapeno. Anyone who knows me knows that I adore the jalapeno pepper. I've dedicated several cookbooks to them, but as one moves from dabbling with chili peppers to cooking with them daily, you can't help but graduate to hotter and hotter peppers. Hence, the habanero. Today, habaneros are everywhere. While not as popular as the jalapeno, stop anyone on the street and ask them if they've ever tried a habanero. Many people have. You no longer need to visit the local Mexican grocer to find your cache of habaneros. The local supermarket carries them. I've see them in every supermarket chain in my own town. I find them in vacation towns. They're easy to locate when you want to cook with them. If you're like me, you've also graduated to habanero levels and possibly beyond. This book is for you. It doesn't mean you're capable of, or in the general mood to, chomp down an entire raw habanero pepper. Who wants that? I certainly don't. But again, if you're like me, you want spice. You want heat. And you want true flavor. Habanero peppers have all of this. They not only bring the spice and heat, but they offer some of the best and most unique flavors around. In this book we focus on a bit of habanero history and information, but primarily on how to cook with the habanero pepper. We have recipes for every type of meal, from breakfast, lunch and dinner, to sauces, salsas and more. Do we have desserts covered? Yes! We know you like your sweets nice and spicy as well. I hope you enjoy the book and the recipes.
