This useful handbook by the founder of Kaitaia Fire, Garry Sommerville, provides information about a good range of easy-to-grow chili peppers in New Zealand.
Each variety is photographed in colour with information about planting, harvesting and storing, as well as any curative properties found in the plant or the fruit. In addition, the book contains a list of recipes – ranging through drinks and appetisers to main meals and desserts.
Detailed information is given about how to temper the heat of the chilis used in any recipes.
Kaitaia Fire Ltd. was established in 1989 on an organic 5 acre farm at Lake Ohia in New Zealand’s Winterless Far North. From those humble beginnings, we now export sauce all around the world, and produce a range of organic “hot” products for the domestic market.
