What better way to enjoy the company of friends and good food than with a potluck? Share the load of cooking and have all kinds of delicious new foods to taste. This is one cookbook that will give you the tools and inspiration you need to organize a regular potluck and fix something delicious to share. The premise of the whole cookbook is to prepare dishes within the season it is harvested so it is broken down by month. For example, when those tomatoes begin to ripen in July, fix tomato dishes. Fall brings on the root vegetables and apples so October uses those and cole weather crops. December is devoted to special gifts from the kitchen in perfect time for holiday giving. The author also shares stories and special tips such as how to reduce waste, canning your bounty, and how to set up and create your own Third Thursday potluck (or whatever day your choose).
I look forward to trying many more of these recipes. Thus far, most ingredients are in my pantry and the ones that aren't have been relatively inexpensive. It only makes sense to cook what is in season, thereby avoiding all the imported foods so I am anxious to give it a try. The illustrations in the form of photos are nicely done and not displayed so fancy that you will be intimidated to try the recipe. All 150 recipes are nicely indexed.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was in no way obligated to write a positive review. Available beginning June 17, 2014.
