Holiday Gift Guide: Potluck Survival Guide #WIN

Sunday, December 18, 2011

I love cookbooks.  I like to sit and scroll through them and dream of the beautiful things I could cook.  There is one problem.  My husband is super fussy!  Well after sitting down and looking through Potluck Survival Guide: Care & Feeding of the Athletic Supporter by Cherie Kimmons I know I found some keeper recipes!  The book has a section in the front that talks about feeding Athletes but it is so much more than that!  The recipes are great for any potluck or even just a family meal.  There are many tips listed through out and also ways to vary the recipe (I love sections like that!)  The back of the book features a handy guide on how to plan for serving sizes too.  So while this book has the traditional sections of any cookbook it really offers so much more!

Recipe Sections:

  • Appetizers
  • Breakfast
  • Entrees
  • Soups and Sandwiches
  • Side Dishes
  • Salads
  • Desserts

Additional information:
Potluck Survival Guide, a light-hearted handbook for beginning and experienced cooks, helps frazzled parents, volunteers, event chairs and novice hosts feed the masses while keeping their sanity. Author Cherie Kimmons, who has spent years in the cooking trenches, helps readers prepare all-time potluck favorites for school, athletic, scouting, band, social and church events. Featuring kid-tested and approved recipes (with modifications for adult palates), the guide includes a unique section of in-depth recipes that serve as a starting point for endless variations. It also explores considerations for feeding young children and athletes, buffet strategies, decorating tips and fun menu ideas.

You can purchase this book from Five Star Publications, Amazon or your local bookstores.  Facebook fans can get a 25% discount on new books when purchasing on Facebook.
