Calling all chiliheads! Become a master of spice with these 75 easy recipes for big, bold flavor. Mike Hultquist, creator of the blog Chili Pepper Madness and author of The Spicy Dehydrator Cookbook, takes you head first into the wide world of all things spicy.
Explore peppers, like poblanos, jalapeños and cayennes, along with spice blends, hot sauces and more. As you cook your way through exciting, spice-rich cuisines like Mexican, Italian and Indian, you’ll discover how simple it is to layer pepper varieties and spices for incredible depth of flavor.
Learn how to achieve just the right amount of zing, whether mild, medium or sizzling. For a memorable meal that’s low on heat, try Sweet-Chili Glazed Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, which mixes sweet red pepper jam with your favorite hot sauce.
Bring it up a notch with Shrimp in Fiery Chipotle-Tequila Sauce, which blends deep chipotle flavor with a kick of serrano pepper.
If it’s mouth-numbing spice you’re after, go for the All-the-Way Arrabiata, a satisfying pasta dish amped up with pepper infused olive oil and whole ghost peppers.
With stews for your slow cooker, burgers for the grill, and eggs for the skillet, it’s easy to enjoy an amazing array of spicy dishes, all day, every day.

Thanks so much, Mark!
Hard to choose a favorite-but the hot sauce recipes can fire anything up! Love the fish tacos! I won a grilled jalapeno eating contest once with a guy that owned a little Mexican restaurant. Love the sweat and nose running-with good flavor!
Nice! Thanks! Glad you like the book!
I love chili rellenos. They aren’t spicy per say but just love the flavor of pablano peppers. Love most anything spicy actually.
I am such a huge fan of every recipe you make and that is saying a lot for me! Blessings!
Love all your recipes. I love spicy stir fry!
My favorite spicy food is Spicy Fish Tacos.
Congrats!!! I am a total “chile-head”, and I have lots of fave spicy dishes- especially Sichuan Chinese ones- but two of my all-time faves are pasta with a Habanero-Cream Sauce, and a Habanero-Peach Cobbler called “Peaches in Paradise”!
Excellent, Elisse! I appreciate it!
