So, the other day, we mentioned the idea of Potluck for your Super Bowl party. We received a bunch of emails in response-some asking more questions, some giving advice. The info was too good not to post, so, you'll find everything you need to know below-sure to make your next potluck party a fabulous success!
*Potluck dinner party*
Hosting a dinner party is quite a production unless you decide to kick up your heels, have some fun, and split up the work between your guests. Enter the Potluck Recipe Swap Party! The party that gets everyone involved. The concept is that everyone brings one dish and with it a few printed versions of the recipes, so people can bring them home to save and try later.
As the host there are some things you should keep in mind.
1. You want an idea of what everyone is bringing. You want to make sure there are no duplicates or dishes that are too similar. This will make sure that you have a nice variety.
2. Make sure you touch all the bases. You want a little bit of everything-appetizers, sides, mains and desserts.
3. Make sure you have extra dishes and utensils; some dishes that arrive might not be "serve- ready."
4. Remind your guests that all dishes that arrive must be fully prepared in advance. The only thing that should be done in the kitchen is re-warming.
5. And, let your guests know this is fun, and the dishes don’t necessarily have to be fancy. The best dishes are the ones passed down from generation to generation.
The best part of this party is that everyone who brings a dish will be bringing a printed version of their recipe as well. So you’ll be able to leave with a full stomach and a new collection of recipes and cooking inspiration!
