I am starting this blog to share my love of the Chile Pepper! I am a scientist, part-time farmer and personal chef dedicated to perfecting the art of chile cultivation and the exploration of food cultures surrounding the this infamous fruit. While the chile is native to the Americas, ever since Columbus's fist voyage, the chile has spread across the world, becoming a mainstay of cuisine in nearly every civilization. Thus, the nomadic chile!
I am dedicated to understanding this fruit, how it grows, where it grows and the best ways to prepare and share this delicious, and often spicy addition to one's culinary experience. Furthermore, as an avid supporter of the local and organic food movements in the US, I'm interested in the spread of the chile as culinary addition throughout different foodscapes across the nation. As such, I am very interested in exploring the different ways these chile can be grown in various environments and how the chile can be incorporated into traditional food cultures across the US and abroad.
