. . Ms. Pickard has given the protagonist a new least on life!”—The New York Times When Eugenia Potter receives an urgent phone call from the manager of her ranch near Tucson, she's only too happy to drop everything and fly home.
When a dinner guest of Eugenia Potter is found poisoned, supposedly from Mrs. Potter's famous twenty-seven-ingredient chili, the flabbergasted hostess knows she must act quickly before someone else is murdered.
A chili-head's delight, this book wrestles with the chili arguments that rage in cookoffs and home kitchens country-wide--with beans or without, tomatoes yes or no, ground meat or cubed, and more.
It’s ladled over spaghetti in Cincinnati, hash browns in St. Louis, and Fritos corn chips in Santa Fe. In The Chili Cookbook, award-winning author Robb Walsh digs deep into the fascinating history of this quintessential American dish.
