Potlucks are events where attendees bring a dish to share. They can be held in various locations and are a great way to try new foods and share family recipes. Organizing a potluck in advance with categories for dishes is recommended.
A potluck is an event where each attendee brings a plate of food. Everyone who brings a dish can then try the other dishes. Potlucks can be dinners or lunches and can be held in churches, schools, offices and private homes.
Hosting a potluck dinner is a great idea for someone who likes to dine, but either doesn’t like spending hours in the kitchen or doesn’t have the time for it. Most hosts will cook the main course for a sit-down dinner, plus some side dishes or dessert, and each guest will bring the rest. A potluck buffet may feature several main courses and many side dishes, and the host may only provide one dish like the other guests.
Office potlucks can be a great idea if the company has a large enough dining room and fridge space. A wide variety of foods can be offered so that there is something for everyone. The best idea is usually to organize the potluck at least three weeks in advance, having a list for the workers to note which dish they will be bringing.
The list should specify categories like main courses, desserts, salads, and things like crackers and cheeses, fruit platters, etc. To ensure a wide variety of courses. It’s also a great idea to include items like a large bag of chips or a large bottle of soda. This way, non-cooks and/or those on a budget can bring something inexpensive and still attend the potluck.
While it’s usually quite acceptable to purchase foods for potlucks, most potluck attendees tend to cook or bake their own contribution. It’s a great way to share special family recipes that you’re proud of and enjoy making. A potluck is also often a great way to try ethnic foods you may not have had before. Some schools hold cultural potlucks so students can learn about different types of cuisines.
