Editorial Review:

When your favorite team is playing, Debbie Moose's Fan Fare is the only book you'll need to tailgate at the big game or throw a party for friends at home, with 100 classic and regional recipes--and the stories and traditions behind them. Fan Fare includes favorites from around the country, from Jo Ann's Campfire Onion Blossoms--popular at NASCAR races, where tailgating often turns into a days-long campout--to bratwurst prepared just the way Green Bay Packers fans like it. It's organized into five chapters that cover every party of the game day feast: Kickoff (appetizers and snacks), Bowl Games (soups, beans, and chili), Hot Streak (entrées), Pit Stops (salads, sides, breakfast, and brunch), and Overtime (desserts and drinks). Moose has also included all the important tips for an impromptu home party or a carefully planned on-site tailgate, with information on food transport and safety, outdoor cooking techniques, suggested menus, and a calendar of sporting events, so there s a great excuse for a tailgate party any time of the year.
