I have a confession… I am a wuss. I am not into melt your face off spicy food, I can’t handle wings, Sriracha and I will never be friends (unless he brings his friend mayo to play bouncer between us). I tend not to go towards anything with jalapenos in them. It’s just how I am. That being said I have broadened my tastes buds while working in kitchens over the years: I found that spice and heat in food are 2 different things, and that with the proper know-how I can lower the heat while keeping great flavor in Cajun, Mexican, and Asian cooking. One of my favorite concoctions is my Mellow Mole’.
