The full title for the Cookbook of the Day is The Tailgating Cookbook: Recipes for the Big Game. And really, there is no bigger game than the Super Bowl, so it seemed like an appropriate book to feature today. We're talking about main meals today, and this book delivers on that front, offering up lots of recipes for chilis, stews, burgers, brats and much, much more. They all work just as well in your home kitchen as they would on a grill perched on the back of your car. The nice thing about this book is that in addition to the recipes, it offers tips on how to throw a good party, which can be a lifesaver if you're not sure how much ice/cups/paper plates to buy or what might be a good side dish for a large platter of brats (although, in my opinion, when you have brats, you need nothing else).
If you want another Super Bowl cooking resource (beyond all the helpful advice we're offering up this week), check out the cookbook that Nicole featured last year for game day, The Last Hurrah: the Ultimate Super Bowl Party Planner.

Took out this book from the library. Eh, wasn't impressed. Nothing there that screamed out to me "MAKE ME!"
