“Warning! Even a quick spin through this book will bring on severe cravings for all things Hatch. The recipes prove just how versatile these chile peppers are in all their forms. My vinaigrettes, sweet potato fries, gumbos, and cinnamon rolls will never be the same. Kudos to the New Mexico locals who grow the peppers and make Hatch products, profiled in Kelley’s tasty lagniappes.” — Bonnie S. Benwick, food and recipes editor
