would it be alright to add this to the HBC cookbook that is going to print real soon?

You may wish to try this by adding the pepper seasoning towards the end, or at least when everything hits the pot.

The reason for this is that pepper has quite a bit of flavour, beyond just the heat.
When pepper is crusted on a piece of meat, and sauteed, you lose much of the flavour, and only end up wiht the heat.

However, if the HEAT is what you are after, ignore me.

Sure Alison, Go ahead and add it to the recipe book I'm pretty sure everyone who tries it will enjoy.
