The Southern Tailgating Cookbook: A Game-Day Guide for Lovers of Food, Football, and the South Hardcover – Illustrated, August 5, 2013

This book was recommended by a fellow coach's wife and after tasting the spiced pecan recipe from here I had to get it! This book has a HUGE amount of recipes for tailgating anytime of the day. Additionally there are wonderful stories that give you a true glimpse into the culture of tailgaiting in the the south. The author offers a variety of examples of how different schools have created deep tradition around football. If this isn't enough, there are also wonderful tips on packing a cooler, keeping things the right temperature and when to cook each recipe! This would be a great gift for any football enthusiast!

Giving this book 3 stars because my first impression is not that great. At first glance, I see that there are a few recipes that are like duplicates and not all that appealing. For instance, there are 3 different hummus recipes - including one for Carrot Hummus. This is not exactly appetizing to me. In the Main Course section, I expected inventive and imaginative recipes. Instead, there are recipes for shish kabobs and grilled baby back ribs. I was expecting so really mouth watering tailgating recipes, but I'm disappointed. There is nothing in the book that I'm excited to try.

More information and great for a first time participate.

I love this book. Great stories, great memories of my growing up in the south, and of course great pictures! The recipes are clear, easy to follow, and innovative. I am using this book for all of my gifts- Christmas, party hostess gifts, etc. I took it to a party last week and found out the the hostess grew up in Birmingham, AL.Susan W. Reno, NV

I had sworn off buying any more cookbooks, but I do live in the South and I saw The Southern Tailing Cookbook. Fantastic! I loved the stories of traveling to the different university football games for tailgating, the recipes, and the photo's. It will be my go to gift for the fall because you can use for everyday cooking as well!

I am a huge college football fan and this cookbook is fun. The stories are great, the recipes easy and fun. I have made two or three things out of it and the items needed are not unusual. I am enjoying reading the stories and cooking the recipe and telling the story to it when people are eating the food.

This cookbook is amazing. Everything I've made from it is absolutely delicious. I don't tailgate. I don't even go to football games but this is the greatest cookbook for cooking for larger groups. With these recipes you can have most of your work finished by the time your guests arrive. I really love this cookbook.

I am always looking for books that I can use for travel recipes We show at the county fair every year This book will be well used

Dieses tolle Buch stellt den American Football in den Südstaaten vor, die besonderen Traditionen, das Flair und vor allem diese fantastischen Gerichte beim tailgaiting......Ein klasse Buch.....
