Chilli Book Reviews


Basically, as my family will confirm, I read a great deal. Not really sure how I squeeze so much reading time in between working, family, cooking, and running this website - some sort of magic really.

As a result I thought I may as well share my observations and opinions with you in case you are considering purchasing one of these books.

chillies-down-under.com is all about free information and I'd hate think of subscribers buying a dud book when I'd already read it.

You should note that when I rate the book I'm not influenced by great photography, and as you'll see some of the highest rated books below don't have any photos or pictures at all.

WHY? I do this because I believe they have very little to do with the overall value of the book to me (there is always the odd exception). Good writing, good information and good recipes give me value - good photos are very aesthetic but don't provide a great deal of value in their own right.

Anyway, enough philosophy, here's what I've covered so far;
