- Summary:
- Inspired by winning a chili cook-off at his home in northeast Iowa, David Esslemont presents his prize-winning recipe in thirty-nine woodcuts in this hand-crafted book. Starting from scratch, he toasts ancho chiles, makes vegetable stock, grinds beef from farmer friends, adds homegrown garlic, tomato paste, and much more. The final touch is a topping of spicy sour cream garnished with julienned fresh fresno, habanero and jalapeno chiles.--www.solmentes.com/books/chili.html
