The Sizzling Southwestern Cookbook: Hot and Zesty, Light and Healthy Chile Cuisine

Living in New Mexico, Nusom is articulate about chile (peppers) vs. chili (the dish). This guy loves chile peppers in everything and his cooking deftly shows off their complex flavors as well as their heat. Red Chile Pesto and his killer Ensenada Black Bean Dip prove his food is creative in ways that work. Though it was not his goal, most recipes are also quick and easy to make. In all, The Sizzling Southwest Cookbook offers 160+ recipes that are lean and mean in the best ways.
