Falk, the daughter of sports agent David Falk and creator of the lifestyle brand Hungry Fan (hungryfan.com), balances indulgent foods (bacon-wrapped hot dog) with lighter choices (a healthy spin on French onion dip) in this sports-themed cookbook for passionate fans. In addition to soups, sandwiches, desserts, drinks, and more, there are plenty of entertaining tips and contributions from star athletes (e.g., wide receiver Greg Jennings's favorite take on macaroni and cheese). Falk periodically recommends proprietary Hungry Fan products such as spice blends, but readers won't need to purchase these to enjoy the book.
VERDICT Readers in search of new ideas for game-day entertaining will appreciate this book's blend of classic and contemporary recipes, which occasionally call for trendy ingredients such as avocado oil, quinoa, and name-brand tomato sauce.
