Do you need a little more "zip" in your day to day life? Maybe you're dreaming of an exotic location with warm skies and colourful scenery. The hustle and bustle of busy food markets and street vendors selling delicious eats from the side of the road.

Well we're here to help you spice things up in the kitchen. We've collected over 30 hot and spicy recipes from across Canada to raise the temperature wherever you are.
There's everything from Jerk Chicken Wings (perfect for a game day snack) to Spicy Vegan Mapo Tofu and a Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce Pizza.
