Potlucks are as American as apple pie. I remember my mother being baffled by this concept. You mean, I don't have to cook everything?
You only have to bring one dish.
One dish?! That's it? Anything I like.
Yes.
Are you sure? Please read the invitation again.
One dish.
Wow.
Wow, indeed. Of course, as our tastes have evolved, and we've learned more information about healthy, organic, sustainable eating, potlucks have also evolved. If, like me, you flock with foodies, well, there is pressure to bring something that is worthy of its consumption. And not to repeat yourself too often. Oh, that again?
Modern Potluck to the rescue. The book is filled with easy, healthy recipes that are also easy on the eye. There's a potato salad for every season. Roasted beet vegetable salad that looks almost too pretty to eat. Slow-roasted lemon-soy-honey pork shoulder. The potluck prep tips are especially useful as it offers advice on how early to make it, where to assemble, how long it can or should stand room temperature before serving.
Potlucks are a modern way of getting together. This is book is a wonderful resource and inspiration point for anyone who potlucks.
I received this book from "Blogging for Books" in exchange for my honest review.
