[I’ve already got that one.](http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Chili-Book-Connoisseurs-Four-Alarm/dp/1585744212)

[And this one.](http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Chili-Cookbook-W-Jameson/dp/1556226527/ref=pd_sim_b_2)

I’m looking for a different cookbook called _The Ultimate Chili Book,_ which I found about ten years ago in the remainders section at Barnes & Noble, and later lost (I think I absently left it in a supermarket shopping cart, having brought it with me to make sure I got the right ingredients for a recipe). It was hardcover, not thick, about 10" high. Had an absolutely delicious recipe for “New Mexico Chili With Lamb” (with roasted Anaheim peppers) which I want to try again. I can’t find it on Amazon or by Googling.

Calling all true chiliheads!

I am posting just to ensure I get answers. I grow chillis (or chilis) and have so many and am looking for new recipes.

Was it a book that basically described a bunch of different types of chilis? I have one called “The Great Chile Book” by Mark Miller, author of Coyote Cafe.

Thanks, but no, it’s not that one, nor any so far mentioned in this thread after the OP.
