About Peppers By Mail

Peppers By Mail is a guide to the world of hot peppers, chili varieties, and the food culture that surrounds them. From growing tips and variety profiles to hot sauce reviews and recipes, we cover everything for people who like their food with a kick.

The site is run by Marco DeLuca, a Sydney-based chili grower and spicy food enthusiast who has been growing peppers in his backyard for over fifteen years. What started as a few jalapeno plants has turned into a full collection of over forty varieties, from mild Poblanos to face-melting Carolina Reapers.

We write honest reviews, practical growing guides, and recipes that actually work. No gatekeeping, no pretending you need to eat the hottest pepper on earth to be a real chili fan. Whether you are just discovering Sriracha or fermenting your own hot sauce, there is something here for you.

If it burns, we are interested.
