Episode 04: What do you bring to a potluck? Home cooking tips for feeding a crowd
Podcast:Food Friends: Home Cooking Made Easy Published On: Tue Nov 15 2022 Description: This week we break down the elements for hosting a successful potluck meal, whether it’s for Thanksgiving or any time of year. We’ll share our favorite dishes, as well as tips for both hosting or attending potlucks. As always, Kari and Sonya will share their unique culinary experiences like Kari’s favorite Midwestern “salads” that her family makes at Thanksgiving, both of which include Cool Whip. And Sonya shares a couple of different approaches to potato salad, including a classic Soviet potato salad that includes canned peas… and Kari’s not so sure about it. For us, Thanksgiving and potlucks are a time to throw out the playbook and do what feels right to you. All traditions and food memories are welcome, even when they include Cool Whip and canned peas.***Links to recipes from this week’s show:Kari’s favorite farro salad: Charlie Bird’s Farro Salad by Melissa ClarkSonya’s favorite Spinach and Roasted Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas, also by Melissa ClarkKari’s family’s jello salad recipesSonya’s Salad Olivier recipe, a Soviet-style potato saladDorie Greenspan’s Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good
