From Publishers Weekly:
"Moose, author of Deviled Eggs, tells it like it is when she says, 'all fervent sports fans know, the day truly is won or lost in the tailgate.' Bringing together more than 100 game-day recipes, Moose gives her readers a serious advantage over any challengers.
Dishes run the gamut from simple fried onion blossoms (Jo Ann's Campfire style) to sophisticated Marinated Gamecocks with Polenta to regional staples like Sweet Potato Ham Biscuits and Mint Juleps. It wouldn't be game day without chicken wings, and Moose offers teriyaki, tandoori and spice-rubbed variations as well as ones that can be prepared in a slow cooker. Many recipes can be made in advance, such as Munchable Marinated Shrimp, four kinds of chili and a spicy coleslaw that gets a kick from jalapenos and cayenne. And with desserts like Bourban-Pecan Pie (not to mention three types of Bloody Marys) to pick up a despondent fan, this cookbook will make for a successful season no matter what the home team does on the field.”

From Publishers Weekly:
"Moose is serious about eggs. She knows how to keep the yolks centered (store eggs on their sides) and how to prevent Green Yolk Phenomenon (don’t turn up the heat). But the author also wants to show readers there’s 'life beyond paprika.' In this cute tome, she draws on family recipes (such as Cousin Judy’s Deviled Eggs, which call for Worcestershire Sauce and Old Bay seasoning), seasonal influences (like Springtime Herb Delights) and regional fare (e.g., Bella Tuscany, which includes rosemary, capers and sun-dried tomatoes). The recipes are short and easy to follow, and most call for basic ingredients that many cooks will already have in their cupboards."

Cookbook author, editor, freelance writer and award-winning essayist Debbie Moose takes an omnivorous approach to life - try at least one bite of everything. She started out with a journalism degree and a love of newsrooms, but discovered that food writing could touch on most aspects of life and offer the greatest opportunity to connect with people. The only thing people like as much as eating food is talking about it.
Debbie was food editor for The News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C. for about eight years before becoming a freelance writer, after a total of 15 years working at daily newspapers. Her second cookbook, Fan Fare: A Playbook of Great Recipes for Tailgating or Enjoying the Game at Home, has just been published by Harvard Common Press. Her 2004 cookbook, Deviled Eggs: 50 Recipes From Simple to Sassy, published by Harvard Common Press, has been consistently popular. One of her essays was selected for the inaugural edition of Cornbread Nation by the Southern Foodways Alliance.
Debbie writes a regular food essay column, "Sunday Dinner," about food and life in North Carolina and the South. Along with garden writer Carol Stein, Debbie writes "Tasteful Garden," a column about how to cook what you grow and grow what you like to eat.
Debbie’s articles have appeared in such publications as the Dallas Morning News, the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer, the Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer, Southern Living, Midwest Living, North Carolina Signature Magazine and Our State.
Debbie is a member of the Association of Food Journalists, the Southern Foodways Alliance, the Society of Professional Journalists and the International Association of Culinary Professionals. She has taught cooking classes and seminars on food writing for various age groups, and has done radio work.
