Strap on your apron, grab a spoon, and dig in with Brian Baumgartner as your ultimate chili guide, with Seriously Good Chili Cookbook!

I have never watched The Office, but the thought of an all chili cookbook was something I wanted to check out. Funny thing is, I don’t like chili. However, I figured if I could find a recipe I’d like, it would be in, SERIOUSLY GOOD CHILI COOKBOOK: 177 of the Best Recipes in the World: Explore the Ultimate Comfort Food with Brian Baumgartner.

Without knowing The Office, I still found this to be an entertaining cookbook. You get a lot of fun that comes with the recipes and other information contained on the pages.

When I review a cookbook, I normally include some of the recipes you would find in the book, but the description from the book itself lists several.

There are a ton of wonderful color photos to tempt even the pickiest tastebuds. Honestly, at times I could smell the chili cooking just looking at them.

SERIOUSLY GOOD CHILI COOKBOOK, is a seriously good chili cookbook that every chili fan will love. And yes, this non-chili fan even found a few recipes I can adapt for myself.
