Meet Mike and Patty Hultquist, spicy food bloggers and chiliheads.

Meet Mike and Patty:
We are Mike and Patty Hultquist, food bloggers originally from the Chicago area now living near Charlotte. Mike is the spicy chilihead cook and writer and Patty is the photographer with a wide range of skills and talents. We both love our dishes spicy with lots of bold flavors.
Our blog is dedicated to spicy foods and easy cooking, with loads of information about chili peppers and spices we find inspiring. The purpose of Chili Pepper Madness is to inspire creative cooking and fun, often with chili peppers. While we obviously focus on chili peppers, we also love spicy food of all sorts and can be found in the kitchen exploring our love of flavors, or even traveling to learn more about the cuisine of other areas when we can. For us, everything starts with spicy food and chili peppers and it all spirals from there.
Mike is the author of 2 cookbooks as well. Check them out:

- The Spicy Food Lovers' Cookbook: “The Spicy Food Lovers’ Cookbook” is packed with 75 recipes for spicy food lovers of all levels, with easy recipes for seafood, from the land, handhelds, slow cooker meals, pressure cooker, pasta and so much more. If you love it spicy, you need this book.
- The Spicy Dehydrator Cookbook: 60 fun and festive desserts for young bakers to make to celebrate with their loved ones. This book is perfect for kids ages 8 and up who are a little more comfortable with independent tasks in the kitchen.
