Enjoyed this cookbook and its references to the Potluck Club series. A few ingredient sizes and instructions are missing, however, so I can't recommend it for the inexperienced or beginning cook. Tried a couple recipes so far with very good results!

This review is from: Potluck Club Cookbook, The: Easy Recipes to Enjoy with Family and Friends (Paperback)

Having just read my first Potluck Club book, I looked forward to reviewing the accompanying cookbook. It did not disappoint. The recipes are easy to follow using food items found in most kitchens, with encouraging side notes like, "We always made this dish following the holidays. What a great thing to do with your leftover turkey." and "Here's a no-bake, easy-to-make panful of yum." and "This is one of my husband's very favorite cakes!"

It's organized so that any cook can find a new eating adventure to try. At the end, "Meet the Authors" is an interesting question/answer segment that fans will appreciate. It would be fun for a book club to read a Potluck Club book and hold the discussion meeting with members creating recipes found in this cookbook.

Any new cook or young bride would appreciate this as a gift. In addition, we old (ahem!) veteran cooks will rediscover foods we've tasted at potluck dinners.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Variety, I Found a Few that Will Become Part of My Recipe File, January 6, 2010

This review is from: Potluck Club Cookbook, The: Easy Recipes to Enjoy with Family and Friends (Paperback)

Well named cookbook that should appeal to the readers of the Potluck Club novel series.

I have a handful and a half of recipes that I plan to try or have tried.

24 Hour Coleslaw is fabulous and easy for those who like a vinegary coleslaw.

I had one recipe failure, Fudge Icing, which may have been user error (trust me, that happens).

Some of the other recipes out of the 125+ available I plan to make include: Shrimp Scampi, Oriental Skillet, Lemon Barbecued Chicken, French Toast Souffle, and Pasta Pizza Pie.

Most are party/gathering appropriate dishes. Some sound great for family dinners. A few use lower fat ingredients but many are full-fledged, full-fat potluck fare.

Recipe book collectors, Potluck Club fans and those looking for party dishes might want to check further into this cookbook. I'm giving it a three because I found less than 10 recipes I had to have.
