We like it hot, hot, hot! Spicy foods are where it’s at on the hot trends list of the year—and there are so many different ways to get that daily dose of spicy heat. Hot & Spicy Flavors is an all-new publication that encompasses edible heat in all forms. Of course we feature all the newest (and best-loved) chile peppers—ghost peppers, Carolina Reaper, and scorpion on the tongue-burning side of the spectrum and jalapeno, poblano, and serrano on the other end. You’ll find all new favorite breakfasts, lunches, and dinners to get your capsaicin fix but also ways to find heat in different ingredients including spicy greens, as well as spicy roots like horseradish, ginger, and wasabi. Plus, find recipes using hot honey, even on desserts. If you like it hot, this publication is for you!
