Searching the world for hot stuff, Dave and his wife, Mary Jane, travel to Mexico, Trinidad, India, Costa Rica, Singapore, Barbados, England, and Australia. On the humorous side of things, Dave writes "How to Order Enchiladas in Santa Fe," "Confessions of a Chile Addict," and "So You Want to Be a Chile Farmer, Eh?" Advancing chile knowledge, Dave explains "Why Chile’s Conquered America," explores chile folklore and herbal remedies, explains how to grow them in containers, and relates the history of American hot sauces. Some chile peppers are so unique that they have gained protected name status in Europe, like champagne.

In 20 entertaining chapters, Dave uncovers a previously unknown world for the true chilehead.
