Just what is Potluck Paradise?

Potluck Paradise is a state of mind.

It can be found in a church basement, community hall, office conference room, school cafeteria, or even just in the backyard. It's where food and fellowship meet. Where traditional recipes push away trendy pretensions. Where communities and families come together to share the best of the best.

We been traveling the state of Minnesota since we wrote Potluck Paradise: Favorite Fare from Church and Community Cookbooks. In book stores, churches, and libraries we've heard stories of potlucks and potluck foods. We've shared laughs at the common memories of Jell-O salads, too many brownies and not enough veggies, oh! so many meatball recipes, and the mysterious, suspicious, unappetizing dish that goes untasted and no one knows who brought it.

On this blog we'll meet in the metaverse and see what comes to the Potluck. Visit often. We'll have recipes, ideas, stories, and other features. If you like you may post your own recipes in the comments section following each post, or simply share a memory.

Welcome to Potluck Paradise!
