Lancaster, PA — Award-winning actor Brian Baumgartner, who became a household name as ‘Kevin Malone’ on NBC’s legendary series The Office, adds a new role to his resume: cookbook author.

He’s also enthusiastic about including some of the best chili chefs from across the globe in his new book— from restaurant owners, chili cook-off winners, his dedicated fans, and more! Readers will also enjoy a foreword from friend and castmate Oscar Nunez.

Each section showcases specific styles of chili — from Texas chili and Cincinnati chili to turkey chili, chili verde, vegetarian, and other regional and international variations.

With Brian Baumgartner at the helm, Seriously Good Chili Cookbook: 177 of the Best Recipes in the World is guaranteed to become today’s most comprehensive collection of appetizing chili recipes, destined to be the go-to chili cookbook for the ages—just don’t spill the pot.
