Potluck parties, whether they be picnics, buffets, tailgates, or other “bring-a- dish” gatherings fit the bill perfectly. Long a staple of large family get- togethers and community group fundraisers, potluck parties have become an increasingly popular way to entertain small or large groups. Whether at home or in the park, the host coordinates the menu, then everyone brings a dish—it’s communal dining at its very best! To make your potluck come off without a hitch, The Great Potluck Cook book opens with organizing basics. You’ll learn how to plan a menu and assign dishes, choose a fun theme and pick the perfect venue, pack and transport food safely, and set up an attractive buffet. Then it’s on to the recipes: We’ve made it a snap to organize great potluck celebrations year-round by providing ten seasonal menus with dishes tailored to each event. From a Mother’s Day Brunch to a Potluck Patio Party, a Super Bowl Shindig and a Day After Thanksgiving Dinner Party, our festive, easy-to-execute menus make throwing a potluck as enjoyable for the host as it is for the guests. Celebrate your annual family reunion with our down-home picnic featuring grab-and-go appetizers, three kinds of succulent barbecue, refreshing salads, and PB&J and S’mores Bars for a sweet finale. When summer turns to autumn, throw together a tailgate party: Our menu includes Easy Spicy Cheese Straws and other yummy nibbles, hearty entrées like Salsa Verde Enchiladas, plus Hot Mulled Wine and Spiced Cider to keep everyone warm and cozy. Throughout the book, you’ll find Potluck Prep tips that offer advice on preparing dishes ahead and how to get them to your destination in party-perfect form. Plus, as a bonus, in the back of the book, you’ll find perforated tabletop cards, so you can dress up your buffet table with the names of all the tempting dishes and their proud creators. It’s a great reminder about the first rule of potlucking: Get everyone in on the act! Susan Westmoreland Food Director, Good Housekeeping
