Chilli

Introduction

Vincent's Chilli recipe was discovered in a Chicago newspaper by Jenny Hammerton, the co-author of Supper with the Stars and is included in The Tingler chapter in the cookbook along with a refreshing ice tea from Vincent's co-star Judith Evelyn. When a reporter tested the Chilli, they questioned the quantities of salt and chilli, and the cookbook testers agreed. So we say you can salt and spice up the chilli to your own taste.
