different chiles. Have you acquired this from your personal experience?
Are there any books or online sources one could use to find, say, that a
Guajillo has a "...subtle Chile taste..." and "... a piney tannic sweet
heat?" I don't recall anything online, offhand, detailing chiles by taste.
Mostly heat and physical characteristics. >>
Riley,
It's a combination of eating, cooking and using various ones. I also grow a
few varieties. We've been eating Hot chiles for over 20 years. LOL Books, I
like Mark Miller's Coyote Cafe Cookbook and it gives a few descriptions of
the various chiles and their flavors. I also like The Pepper Garden by
DeWitt, but it is just that a gardening book. I have quite a collection of
hot food cookbooks. For more common and Southwest (dried chiles) mark's the
man in my book. There are a couple of books just called Chiles.
So I guess the solution is eat more chiles, and just keep trying new ones!
LOL I always try Chiles everywhere I travel.
