Product Description

Completely authorized by NBC Sports, The Sunday Night Football Cookbook marries two great American institutions--food and football. With more than 150 delicious recipes from America's top chefs, NFL players and alumni, and NBC Sports' all-star on-air team, the book is an easy-to-use playbook for making the ultimate football meal.

Team by team and city by city, The Sunday Night Football Cookbook celebrates the special dishes, unique flavors, and most famous chefs of the NFL's 31 cities (and Honolulu, where the Pro Bowl is held). Recipes range from local favorites like Seared Tequila Chicken from Eddie Matney's Restaurant in Phoenix to decadent desserts like Chef Tobin McAfee's Double Warm Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding served at Sir Edmond Halley's in Charlotte, NC.

Among the all-star chefs contributing recipes are Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse, Jean-Robert de Cavel, Christopher Wilson, Susan Goss, and others. Also adding their favorite recipes are former NFL players--including Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward, Kansas City Chief Tony Gonzalez, and Indianapolis Colt Dwight Freeney--and stars from the NBC's Football Night in America team, including John Madden, Tiki Barber, and Jerome Bettis.

These aren't your run-of-the-mill tailgating recipes, though: The Sunday Night Football Cookbook redefines football food, transforming traditional dishes into super-tasty recipes and adding the nation's regional tastes to the game-day table.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipes for Entertaining!, October 24, 2008

By	T. S. Cowan (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not a huge football person but I saw this and thought the food looked fantastic. I have made several of the recipes in the SNF cookbook and they were all a big hit with my party guests. This is a good cookbook not only for those who love seeing what their favorite athletes love to eat but also for entertaining. Some recipes require more work than others but overall, I highly recommend this cookbook.
