REVIEW
I don't normally review cookbooks, mostly because I'm not much of a cook. I cook enough to get by but that's about it. But I couldn't resist this one. First because I'm a huge BYU football fan, and second because all the recipes come from family members of current and former BYU football players or coaches. At the bottom of each page is a quick introduction to each contributor, mothers, sisters, wives, etc. I also thought it was great how each section was divided up using football terminology, such as Pre-game warmups, touchdowns, etc. Lots of delicious possibilities served up in an attractive package. Recommended.
