I just bought a copy of Jane Butel's new cookbook, "Real Women Eat Chiles". I collect cookbooks, like her work and was fortunate to take some cooking classes at her Albuquerque school about 10 years ago. In the book, when she is talking about "real" woman who have made a difference in the chile world, there is a full page, full color picture of our own ChileWoman, Susan Welsand! I don't remember Susan telling us about this; perhaps I missed it. Or perhaps she is modest, so I'll toot her horn for her! It's a great picture with the following quote: "People often ask me what I put chiles in, besides salsa. My response is always, 'What wouldn't you put chiles in?' Chiles are great in desserts, soups, breads, as well as main dishes. Chiles are a daily part of our cuisine. A day without chiles would be dull, for all of the senses. And the crop is as beautiful to grow as it is delicious." The cookbook is beautiful, the women features range from famous to not, in all walks of life. Pictures are lovely too. The recipes are varied and nutritional information is given as well. Just a heads up, CHers. Susan is soooo right: a day without chiles would be dull indeed! SandyO CH #1146 of the moderate persuasion
