Tailgating Done Right Cookbook cover


                                                                 Synopsis:

When it comes to the game-day tailgate, be it at home or at the stadium, there's no playing around!
The perfect gift for sports fans who love great food, this cookbook contains 150 tailgate-ready recipes, from kick-off appetizers to victory-dance desserts, that are sure to score big.
Tailgating and viewing parties are events in and of themselves, and this book will help you plan and prep ahead of time so you can serve up fast, easy, and savory crowd-pleasers.
With recipes like Double-Play Chicken Skewers, Bases Loaded Potato Salad, High Octane Chili, Show-Your-Colors Fruit Salad, Pit Crew Brownies, and so much more, it's all the classic game-day fare you love, taken to the next level, and sure to win over all you share it with!


Review:

This is a great book for tailgating, but also for backyard BBQs, get togethers, camping and easy dinners, since most are easy to make ahead and make on site, and serve a crowd! Most of the recipes are super simple to make, and your family is sure to find quite a few new family favorites in this book! There are old standbys and new unique combinations (like watermelon and jalepenos, brats and tortillas, or potato salad and onions) that will soon become your new standbys! 

The recipes cover everything you would need for all day tailgating, and kids will delight in the snacks and desserts that are easy enough to make anytime! I love how each recipe has a colored picture, so you know exactly what it is supposed to look like! That and simple directions (some including pictures), make this a book any level of cook can use! There is a dichotomy in editing- with some recipes having an ingredient list before the directions, and others just incorporating both into one paragraph of directions. So just make sure you read the entire page first, to make sure you have what you need! We've already tried a few on the main course recipes for dinner, and they have all been spectacularly easy and good!

This is a great book for giving and keeping!

Here is one of the recipes we've tried- it's gooey and ooey and totally yummy! Add a salad and you have a great easy dinner! You can sub in a Sourdough loaf if you don't like rye!
