This mild to medium heat Cherry Pepper is small, round, and bright red in color. Its shape resembles a cherry (hence the name...) and is considered extremely good in processing and pickling. Cherry Peppers, like Chico, are perfect for the home garden, but you will usually see them in the commercially canned pickled state sold at your local farm markets and grocery stores.

Grown mainly in Asia and India, these long, slender, and smoky Cayenne Peppers are a good source of instant heat. Cayenne Peppers, like Chi-Chi, are most often used in Cajun cooking and appears, in whole, in asian dishes. Seeds and veins are often removed in cooking because of its heat. Cayenne Peppers are thin-fleshed, acidic, and mainly used in powdered form (simply called Red Peppers).

Originated from Mexico near the city of Pueblo, these mild, heart-shaped chiles is just one of those peppers with huge interiors perfect for stuffing delicious fillings (also known as picadillos). Some are filled with black beans, fresh steamed white corn kernels, cheese, garlic, onions, and many more...The poblano holds up well under grilling which enhances its velvety rich taste. Young poblanos such as Pepe, have dark green skin and mature to red or brown. Dried Poblanos are called Mulatos or Anchos and they are awesome ingredients for soup or sauces.

A little burst of spiciness, dark smooth skin, and a joy to taste is what makes this cute little green pepper among the top favorites. Jay-Jay Jalapeno usually hangs out at the soup/salad bars, potato chip/nacho aisles, local sandwich and sub places, movie theaters, and more...It's pretty obvious why he's the most popular pepper among many cooks, chefs, and consumers all around the world.

A native of the Amazon basin, Mr. Habanero is one of the most intense and super-spicy chili peppers in the world. He enjoys being in a hot climate, but too much sun can be damaging to his skin. The Habanero's heat, its fruity, citrus-like flavor and floral aroma have made it a popular ingredient in hot sauces and spicy foods. Mr. Habanero also enjoys a cool glass of water from time to time.

Want to see some examples of covers that are evil twins - because the art directors used the same stock photograph for the same books? Read this article by The Rap Sheet and then click through to example after example.
You can also use the same cover art and just repurpose it a little, as you can see here.
How about book covers that try to piggyback off of a successful book? Click here for an example.
Sometimes people just have the same good idea. Click here for an example.
I've only had one cover that was pure stock photography (in fact, my first three were all made especially for the book, and two others have at least mixed images). Luckily, I've never seen this image anywhere else - have you?
