Think fall, think football—think fabulous food. But if your tailgates have become overly dependent on store-bought chips and dips, this new football-themed cookbook will help revitalize the celebrations.

Sample Nina Swan-Kohler's Black and White Referee Chili and other recipes in our Virtual Pub.

Alongside such staples as chili and pigs in blankets, experienced home economist and food writer Nina Swan-Kohler offers more adventurous fare, such as Honey-Ginger Salmon, Football Pork Pockets, and Kick-Off Brisket spiked with Bloody Mary mix. Her "Extra Point" tips offer expert advice on safe grilling and food preparation, ingredient substitution, and recipe variations.

Elegantly designed by Amanda Smith, 02BA, and filled with beautiful photographs, this book offers plenty of inspiration to get cooking. And, as many recipes make good use of frozen, canned, and prepared ingredients, football fans who pull kitchen duty will still have plenty of time to enjoy the Super Bowl or the game day festivities outside Kinnick Stadium.

The book is available for purchase via the website www.tailgatestotouchdowns.com, which also features tailgating tips and free recipes to download.
