Simple recipes with a refined and delicious touch … The simplest cook makes a delicacy of the Gods. I bought the book for myself, but my Son already took it … This book is the result of someone who loves to receive well… We must talk about the beautiful binding, with funny pictures and delicious life stories … I hope you get the book translated into Portuguese …

Thank you for your special words. Your discription of the book is exactly what it is and also you have understood the reason for creating the book. To have fun with food, to enjoy good food, to know how the book came about and to know the Viv Thomas that brought it to life.
We thank you.

Having had the good fortune of eating Viv’s food, I will definately be ordering this book. I watched him prepare many meals with such meticulousness and enthusiasm. His chilli oils and sauces are to die for and his taste in wine is second to none. Cant wait for it to arrive.
Avril Thomas –
Thank you so much Rob. It is always a pleasure to hear from you and even more of a pleasure that Chilli Boy has made it’s mark on you.

I wanted to write and let you know that the cook book arrived. I gave it to my wife as an anniversary present and we looked through all of the recipes together. They look delicious! It is obviously a testament to Viv’s (and your) passions for both cooking and photography. The stories surrounding the inspiration for the dishes are also wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing these experiences with all of us! They will surely bring a little warmth to a cold Minnesota winter.
