No one takes chili more seriously than Brian Baumgartner, whose character as Kevin Malone became a household name in the Emmy-winning TV series, The Office.

Featuring 177 chili recipes stamped with Brian's "seriously good" approval rating, Seriously Good Chili Cookbook contains new and inventive ways to spice up chili for all occasions, all year long. Written in the humorous and friendly tone Brian Baumgartner is known and loved for, this engaging cookbook opens with an introduction from Brian about how an infamous 60-second scene from the show transformed him into a chili icon, his passion for chili, and a fascinating account of the history of his all-time favorite comfort food. Each section that follows showcases specific styles of chili -- from Texas chili and Cincinnati chili to turkey chili, chili verde, vegetarian, and other regional and international variations. Every mouth-watering recipe has been contributed by renowned chefs, world championship chili cook-off winners, restaurant owners, TV celebrities, social media influencers, Brian himself, and his dedicated fan base. Also included are 50 championship-winning recipes from the International Chili Society's World Champion Chili Cook-Off spanning from 1967 to present day, a foreword by fellow The Office co-star, Oscar Nunez, and a bonus recipe of the official "Kevin's Famous Chili" from The Office!

Title: Kevin’s a Legend
Review: My husband and I are big fans of The Office (especially Kevin!), so this was a no brainer gift for Father’s Day. He loved it! There are great recipes that are new/exciting, but not overly complicated.

Title: loaded w/ recipes, pictures, and in wonderful spiral bound format.
Review: THANK YOU for putting this in spiral bound format. I wish more recipe books would do this. I also greatly appreciate all the pictures. It was like they knew how to appeal to people who like to cook (and eat). Give me a recipe book in spiral bound form, and provide pictures of each (or most) recipes, and I will pay loads more for it over the pictureless recipe books. I cook based on what appeals to my tummy when I see it. Good job on this!I love the variety of recipes. Something for everyone! I think this books makes a great gift. I wanted it, but I bought it for my husband as an upcoming Christmas present. He likes chili, and I think would participate in the kitchen with recipes like these. I love volume food (big eater, and some foods are great as left overs and beyond).So far, I am very pleased with it, and I think the hubs will be too.

Title: It's Chili Today, Hot Tamale!
Review: Oh, where do I begin with the Seriously Good Chili Cookbook? You know, they say the measure of a man is in his chili, and if that's the case, then I have been measured and found spectacular!First off, the moment I held this book, I knew it was special, much like the moment I first held a World's Best Boss mug (self-bought, but that's a story for another day). The pages smell like victory and spices. It's like they were hinting at the culinary wonders that lay within.Each recipe is a journey, an adventure, and I, Michael Scott, am an adventurer at heart. Let me paint you a picture: There I am in my kitchen, book in hand, apron on, like Indiana Jones meets Gordon Ramsay. The suspense is high. Will the next page hold the secret to the perfect Chili con Carne or a spicy new take on a Cincinnati-style chili?What I love about this book is how it breaks down the complexities of chili into manageable pieces. It's like they've taken the fear out of cooking, kind of like how Dunder Mifflin takes the fear out of paper. And trust me, I've had my share of cooking disasters - remember the time I burned my foot on a George Foreman Grill?The Seriously Good Chili Cookbook has not only changed the way I cook but also how I view life. It's taught me that sometimes you have to add a little spice, sometimes you have to simmer down, and most importantly, always share your chili with others (whether they want it or not). Because in the end, isn't life all about sharing?So, if you're out there looking for the right book to turn you into the chili-champion of your office, home, or even just for yourself, this is it. Just remember, folks: don't go spilling the chili!

Title: Amazing cook book! Very well laid out!
Review: As a self proclaimed chili expert, and part time recipe user I found this book absolutely amazing! The day it arrived (literally the same day I’m reviewing it) I read it cover to cover. “But why would you read a cook book cover to cover?” Ahh yes, good question, I did it because of the author. I have been a fan of Brian Baumgartner since the first day I watched the office. Subsequently my excitement for this book is only amplified each time I re-watch the office. My love of the office is not the point of this review, this review is to express the wonderfully laid out, visually appealing, and easy step-by-step instructions that are found within each of the 177 (bonus recipes as well) recipes.The lay out and design of this cook book make it easy to read and understand. It’s very simple to find the chili you are looking for, or based on the meat you have on hand.The visual appealing pictures are so well done, my cat attempted to eat them as she read over my shoulder. Truly stunning images, that only make you want to attempt each and every recipe.If you are in need of a comprehensive guide to chili, are a fan of Brian, a lover of the office, or of fine recipes, this book is needed for your collection.

Title: This book has a wide variety of recipes
Review: Sometimes cook books are deceiving, they say it’s 150 recipes when it’s only 60. This book does not have repeat recipes in it. Very good , variety of heat levels.

Title: Seriously Great
Review: I was hesitant about buying this book because I wondered if anyone really needs an entire book dedicated to one dish.After receiving and reviewing it, I have no regrets.The book itself (spiral) is made REALLY well. The narrative portions of the book are engaging. The recipes are well written.I think what I appreciate the most is how much obvious care and love went into creating this book.Excited for all the chili I'll have to make now.

Title: Every chili you can imagine!
Review: I am so pleased with this book! I ordered the spiral bound edition which I highly recommend. It is well made with a hard cover, semi-glossy pages and if I'm not mistaken, there's a photo for every recipe along with a bio of each contributor. Additionally, Brian includes a history of chili! I have made one recipe so far and it was fantastic. Great job, Brian Baumgartner!

Review: I'm a huge fan of chili and I recently entered a chili cookoff and got one of the prizes. But afterwards, it occurred to me that I've been making more or less the same chili for my entire life and I wanted to see what else was possible. I saw so many different kinds of chili in that competition that I was intrigued to branch out. I've tried a few recipes here from this book and they've all been great so far. Looking forward to going through more. Thumbs up!

Review: If you're a chili head you will want this title on your bookshelf, despite the criticisms I'll now lay out. There's a broad range of recipes in here to take inspiration from and try out for yourself, but if you're looking for technique look elsewhere. A lot of the recipes use processed foods for key ingredients which is surprising, and if you have a European palate you'll want to halve the amount of salt in most of the recipes. All that said there's a lot to take inspiration from in here and when the recipe calls for tin of 'this or that' you can always upgrade by preparing 'this or that' yourself. Overall, recommended.. but it won't change your life 🙂
