Chili Madness: A Passionate Cookbook

CHILI MADNESS, now with over 324,000 copies in print, collects more than 35 authentic recipes from all across the country for a fiesta of treasured concoctions that combine meat, chili, and spices in wondrous permutation, some-yes-using pork instead of beef, some-yes-adding tomatoes, some-yes-prepared with beans.

Recipes range from easy First Love Chili to Navajo Green, Reno Red, and the "six-Rolaid-rating" pride of Cincinnati, Murray's Girlfriend's Chili. They come from all over-championship recipes, restaurant recipes, great pots of things named for H. Allen Smith, Carroll Shelby, the city of Santa Clara. There is Chasen's Chili, Texas/Two Fingers Chili. Mike Roy's Housebroken Chili.

CHILI MADNESS also explains how to join chili clubs, receive chili newsletters, develop personal chili recipes, and enter them in competition. A full-alarm call to chili and everything to do with chili, the book includes tips on the best garnishes, the best go-togethers, and the best cool-down drinks.
