Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums, New Edition
Like the first edition, this volume is illustrated with botanically accurate, yet aesthetically pleasing paintings that show the blossoms, buds, young peppers, and mature specimens of 34 cultivars in full color. Dr. Andrews also provides a recipe for the most typical dish in which each pepper is used, recipes that she herself has tested and served to grateful friends. With its up-to-the-minute, encyclopedic text and beautiful illustrations, Peppers remains a botanical natural history par excellence.
Customer Reviews:
A Beautiful Book
By A Customer - May 27, 2000First published in 1984, Peppers is one of the most beautiful books about any food plant we've ever seen. Author Jean Andrews is not only the artist behind 34 full color plates of the world's capsicums, she is also a thorough historian of food whose work has influenced many books about capsicums that followed hers. Peppers is to the capsicum family what Redcliffe Salaman's The History and Social Influence of the Potato is to solanum tuberosum, with the bonus of color illustrations. Andrews' book explores the origins of the plant, its travels beyond South America, its biological and economic story, its multiple varieties, its most recent high tech implications, and ends with several recipes, and a photographic glossary of botanical terms. Any student of food plants will find repeated value in this book.
Vade mecum
By Simon Cotton - August 2, 2005I bought this book as a chemist looking for information on the chilli pepper. I certainly found it. The book is exquisitely illustrated with numerous colour plates, photographs and drawings. No excuse for confusing your Habanero with your Pimento. It has also got a very detailed bibliography. In between the covers there is a detailed account of the history of peppers, their biology and their uses. The author belongs to the prevailing culture that dictates that chemical structures should not appear in a popular science text, but that's my only criticism. I look forward to reading it again.
One of the Most Beautifully Illustrated Books on My Shelf
By J. Canestrino - February 26, 2009There is no doubt that Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums contains heaps of useful information about the origins, culinary uses, production and management of peppers. But where it really stands out is in the stunningly detailed and colored drawings rendered by the author; all the more striking for the large format in which this book is published. In looking at my shelves full of books covering a wide range of plants and horticultural crops the only one I can see that even comes close to being comparable for its botanical illustrations is Lanner's Conifers of California. Round out your bookshelf with The Pepper Garden and Peppers of the World by DeWitt and Bosland, the AVDRC's Pepper Diseases: A Field Guide and the Grower's IPM Guide for Florida Tomato and Pepper Production from the University of Florida and you will have all the references you should need to quench your burning desire for knowledge on this most pungent of plants.
