Great Chili Book

The Great Chili Book is a tribute to America's most indigenous and hotly debated dish, with 101 recipes for making chili of all kinds. Here is the lore and legend of chili, an examination of its special place in the souls of its devotees, and a review of the fundamentals of a good chili - the cooking pot, seasonings, the debates over cubed versus ground meat, beans or no beans, and much more. At the heart of The Great Chili Book are the recipes, gleaned from every corner of the United States (with an unavoidable bias toward Texas and the Southwest): LBJ's Pedernales River Chili, Cincinnati Chili, Texas Prison Chili, Stella Hughes' Arizona Chili, and 97 more. Which of the 101 varieties of chili described here is "the ultimate bowl of red?" Readers will delight in seeking the answer.
