Fan Fare: A Playbook of Great Recipes

What it is: A collection of recipes and tips for planning a game day party or tailgate.

Why we love it: If you're looking for inspiration for your next game day event, look no further than this cookbook. Fan Fare is not only a great collection of recipes but it also full of interesting and fun anecdotes from various tailgating locations. It is 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 (entrees), Pit Stops (salads, sides, breakfast, and brunch), and Overtime (desserts and drinks). The author 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.

Who we'd give it to: Whether they're planning a NASCAR tailgate or Super Bowl party, party hosts will love this book.

Where to get it: From Amazon.com for a spirited $10.17.
