Editorial Reviews

04/01/2015
Gr 6–10—Burgers, ribs, pizza, tacos: these are foods associated with football, for better or for worse. Dangle these recipes in front of young people, and watch them beat a path to the kitchen. And once they've dazzled family and friends with Sloppy Joe Nacho Bars, why not move on to salmon with couscous or scrambled egg muffins? This refreshingly nongendered cookbook series is packed with appealing food (approximately 20 dishes per volume, including desserts, drinks, and entrees) and only slightly silly football puns (variations on the recipe are labeled "Call an Audible"). Instructions are logical and reasonably easy to follow, though none of these recipes rely on razor-sharp precision in terms of cook times and measurements: a boon for less-experienced chefs. Large, appetizing photos of the finished foods take the place of process photographs, so these are for kids with basic kitchen skills or who will be working with a more knowledgeable cook. VERDICT Great choices.
