Product DescriptionPotlucks and picnics, dinner parties and church socials, fundraisers, toasts to the teacher, reunions, cookouts—it's the busy age of shared meals, which means with every invitation comes the question: '' What can I bring?'' Anne Byrn, an inspired cook, problem solver, and bestselling author of The Cake Mix Doctor cookbook and other books with over 2.6 million copies in print, knows exactly how to answer the question. Cutting through menu block—a condition familiar to everyone who cooks—here are over 200 delicious suggestions for crowd-pleasing food that’s designed to travel.
There are finger foods, canapes, and ''trios''—Trio of Marinated Goat Cheese, Asian Summer Rolls with a Trio of Sauces, Trio of Pastry-Wrapped Camemberts. 25 surprising salads: White Corn Salad with Fresh Thyme, Asparagus and Grilled Peppers with Asian Soy Dressing. Main dishes for a party, from Southern-Style Pulled Pork to Creamy White Bean and Spinach Lasagne. Desserts (of course, 25 of them), and a full chapter of loaves and other gifts from the kitchen, including Chocolate Sour Cherry Bread and Sun-Cooked Peach Preserves. Each recipe comes with Tote Notes (how best to transport the dish), Big Batch (how to multiply the dish), and When You Arrive (how to put the finishing touches on the dish). Plus there are ''Grab & Gos''—super-quick recipes—for each section, etiquette tips for working in someone else's kitchen, and a ''Notes'' area for each recipe, to jot down tips and log in when you made the dish and for what occasion, so you don't repeat yourself.

Community activist cookbook (details)
Here we have over 200 recipes for "take-out" -- for Pot Luck gatherings or for a meal-planned event. Of course you can make these recipes at home as well but the thrust of the book is to simplify one's life a bit by giving you some choices of a carry-in dish to take along to a group function.
There are also a great number of pages devoted to HOW to carry out the particular dish you choose, which also makes life a little simpler since we always seem in a hurry to get everything together at the last minute for such acivities and functions. There are additionally tips for party planning, quite helpful advice, especially if you've never planned a get-together involving food.
The book is broken down into six sections:
