What is piment d'espelette? I have it a few times in some of the recipes here. I have never heard of it?

Piment d'espelette is a mildly spicy dried chile (usually ground) that's grown in the Basque region of France. If you can't find it, you can easily substitute red chile flakes or a tiny bit of cayenne (keep in mind that cayenne is much spicier).
