For us Hot Heads, uh.. Chile Heads. It's warm in the day and chilly at night? Try this recipe to even it out.

  10 fl oz milk

  1  small dried chilies (1 to 2)

  1  large cinnamon stick

  4 large egg yolks

  1 3/4 oz caster sugar

  100 grams white chocolate - finely chopped

  10 fl oz double cream

  1  habanero chile - chopped very fine (optional)

Heat the milk with the dried chillies and cinnamon until almost boiling. Remove from the heat, cover and leave for at least 20 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until thick and pale.

Remove the seasonings from the milk, then reheat it until almost boiling. Add the chopped chocolate to the milk, and stir until it has melted completely. Pour the chocolate milk onto the eggs, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon. Heat the mixture gently over a pan of hot (but not boiling water) for 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened. Do not heat this mixture over direct heat or the chocolate may cause it to burn. Continue as for the blueprint Extra-Rich Vanilla Ice Cream, from step 4, adding the lightly whipped cream to the chilled custard just before churning. Add the chopped habanero, if desired, to the ice cream just before churning is complete.

NOTES: Chiles and chocolate are both traditional Mexican foods, and they go together surprisingly well in ice cream, especially if you add some chopped fresh chiles for extra bite. Use dark, bitter chocolate if you prefer, but the white is very creamy and makes the chiles even more surprising! The quantity of sugar is much less for this recipe since white chocolate is so sweet.

SureBeam Having Financial Woes

 SureBeam, one of the leading food irradiation companies, has watched their stock price plummet in recent months.  The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is conducting an inquiry into SureBeam's accounting practices, and almost 20 lawsuits have been filed by company shareholders who are upset with the company's accounting practices and disclosures.  For those wondering about irradiation, this provokes an important question -- how can the public believe their claims on the safety of food irradiation when their claims about their own financial health seem to be suspect?

Food editor, for Dave DeWitt's "Fiery Foods & BBQ" magazine & web-site, Nancy Gerlach, has assembled her favorite recipes for Latin American ceviche, the seafood dish that's "cooked" in citrus juices with chiles. ...READ MORE

Lighthouse Tuna Ceviche


This is another Cerviche recipe from Dave's sister site, www.1worldrecipes.com.

Here is Chef Wil Heemskerk's take on ceviche... Virtually any fish can be used in this dish, but Wil prefers strongly flavored fish like tuna or kingfish. Serve this as a fancy appetizer. READ RECIPE
