No one takes chili more seriously than Brian Baumgartner, whose character as Kevin Malone became a household name in the Emmy-winning TV series, The Office. In real life, Brian is a true chili master and aficionado who is just as serious as his fictional counterpart about making the most perfect pot of chili. Featuring 177 chili recipes stamped with Brian’s “seriously good” approval rating, Seriously Good Chili Cookbook contains new and inventive ways to spice up chili for all occasions, all year long. Written in the humorous and friendly tone Brian Baumgartner is known and loved for, this engaging cookbook opens with an introduction from Brian about how an infamous 60-second scene from the show transformed him into a chili icon, his passion for chili, and a fascinating account of the history of his all-time favorite comfort food. Each section that follows showcases specific styles of chili – from Texas chili and Cincinnati chili to turkey chili, chili verde, vegetarian, and other regional and international variations. Every mouth-watering recipe has been contributed by renowned chefs, world championship chili cook-off winners, restaurant owners, TV celebrities, social media influencers, Brian himself, and his dedicated fan base. Also included are 50 championship-winning recipes from the International Chili Society’s World Champion Chili Cook-Off spanning from 1967 to present day, a foreword by fellow The Office co-star, Oscar Nunez, and a bonus recipe of the official “Kevin’s Famous Chili” from The Office! So strap on your apron, grab a spoon, and dig in with Brian Baumgartner as your ultimate chili guide!

THANK YOU for putting this in spiral bound format. I wish more recipe books would do this. I also greatly appreciate all the pictures. It was like they knew how to appeal to people who like to cook (and eat). Give me a recipe book in spiral bound form, and provide pictures of each (or most) recipes, and I will pay loads more for it over the pictureless recipe books. I cook based on what appeals to my tummy when I see it. Good job on this!

I love the variety of recipes. Something for everyone! I think this books makes a great gift. I wanted it, but I bought it for my husband as an upcoming Christmas present. He likes chili, and I think would participate in the kitchen with recipes like these. I love volume food (big eater, and some foods are great as left overs and beyond).

So far, I am very pleased with it, and I think the hubs will be too.

Brian has done a superb job putting together a book full of great recipes with interesting facts and insights into chili the world over. I’ve tried Brian’s go-to chili recipe and it was super good ! Saw several others I want to try as well, especially the one with 2 beers in the recipe. That should be quite tasty too. Aside from beef chili recipes, he includes recipes using chicken or pork. Many mouthwatering ideas for adventurous home chefs. A great read chock full of great recipes, and the spiral binding is awesome. Highly recommended !

Book quality versus quantity

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 19, 2022

I find myself at a difficult position deciding whether to give this cookbook 3 or 4 stars but decided on 3.

Let me tell you the good things about this. This hardcover, spiral bound book has tons of recipes for chilli! These are all contributed mostly by people from the United States. Some are by food bloggers, chefs, TV hosts, etc.

There are a great variety in the types of chilli such as red meat, chicken and unexpectedly, veggie versions! A lot sound delicious and a few sound way too heavy for my appetite. I'll probably stick with the chicken versions and the veggie versions.

There are color pictures for each and every recipe.

What I do not like about this. The quality of the paper pages. This feels like a cheap magazine. Like if you pull the page too quickly and the holes get stuck in the binding, it could rip very easily. I can see this book also getting damaged quickly if you have it nearby when cooking. Some books, their pages are easy to wipe if you accidentally get it wet. This one, I feel like the thin, glossy paper would not be forgiving at all.

I think this book is great for a chilli lover but be careful as the pages are of poor quality.

So viele Chili Rezepte in einem Buch. Unglaublich. Ich liebe Chili, also liebe ich das Buch. Von vegetarischen Varianten bis hin zu Varianten mit Alligatorfleisch. Das Buch ist super in die Kategorien der verschiedenen Chilis eingeteilt.
Man sollte jedoch beachten, dass es auf Englisch ist, das könnte für einige eine kleine Hürde mitbringen.

Great book. Obviously the office fans will be happy but there is a really broad selection of great recipes in here. From super easy 5 ingredient ones to complex multi-day efforts. Worth it for sure!
