Publisher Description
The daughter of legendary sports agent David Falk, Daina Falk spent her early years around pro athletes. Today, her love of sports is matched only by her passion for food. As the original Hungry Fan®, Daina celebrates game day cooking at its best, from pulled pork sandwiches at the tailgate to sky-high stadium chili at home.
In The Hungry Fan's Game Day Cookbook, Daina presents more than 100 crowd-pleasing recipes to jazz up your tailgate and score points with any home game-watching guest. Discover fresh takes on classics like Buffalo wings, sliders, and layered dips, alongside delicious dishes inspired by local fan traditions. Daina also enlisted a dream team of athletes including LeBron James, Boomer Esiason, Victoria Azarenka, and Dikembe Mutombo to contribute their signature recipes to the mix. Featuring tips on planning menus, packing snacks, and finding top stadium eats, plus fun facts, team trivia, and Daina's memories of growing up on the sidelines, this fan-friendly cookbook is an all-access pass to the ultimate game day experience.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Falk, a passionate foodie, started her HungryFan website in 2011, celebrating sports and fan culture inspired in part by her father, a well-known sports agent and the food that goes with it. In this solid collection, she offers fellow fans 165 recipes to enjoy while tailgating or at home. In addition to the expected jalapeno poppers, Bloody Marys, and Buffalo wings, Falk offers many tasty (and often healthy) riffs such as chipotle chicken potato skins and a low-fat blue cheese dip, both of which substitute Greek yogurt in place of sour cream; a grilled chicken and peach sandwich; and must-try desserts such as Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's frosting. Some of her famous sports friends offer dishes as well: fans can recreate Michael Jordan's meat lovers' flatbread or Swedish meatballs from football legend Boomer Esiason. Almost all of the dishes come together easily Mama Falk's meatloaf calls for just six ingredients but a few, such as March Madness Atlanta-Inspired BBQ Pork, will take some time and planning. Regardless of culinary preferences or skill level, every hungry sports fan can find something appealing in this go-to guide for game days all year long.
