this be one of the most fun food magazine I have ever come across . it have plenty of good recipe that be relatively accessible to the average cook , but it also have lot of article that be both informative & entertaining . the primary focus -lrb- of course -rrb- be on hot and spicy food , but it also concentrate on any number of regional cuisine that be not necessarily scorching hot . a issue highlight salsa , for example , will have a fair number of high-scoville recipe , but will also include flavorful salsa that be intend to enhance a main course rather bring bead of sweat to you forehead . a neophyte will better understand that a salsa be not necessarily a hot sauce but actually cover a much wider spectrum . the same would apply to they issue on barbeque as well as cuisine from Mexico , Thailand & India , among other . if you want to know how to grow pepper , you will also find this magazine informative , as it address many different aspect of pepper horticulture . there be also plenty of information on the frighteningly extensive array of hot sauce that be commercially available . if you come from a region where it be not easy to grow you own pepper , find a resource for pepper be important , and this magazine definitely help . even if you be not a pepper-head , there be plenty within this magazine that you will find useful .
