THOMAS FOX AVERILL
A book for food lovers, especially lovers the spice and heat of latin cooking. The name Tsil comes from the god-avatar of the chili pepper in the ceremonial dances of the Hopi. The story and recipes are loaded with chillies one of the true North American foods. Native north Americans had domesticated the chilli long before the arrival of the europeans.
I read this book some years back so my remembrance of plot is sketchy but what I remember is loving the mix of story and food fact and restaurant lore. Not great literature but a great read.
