THE POTLUCK SURVIVAL GUIDE is as informative as THE GOOD HUSEKEEPING ILLUSTRATED COOKBOOK
Fifteen years ago, I was a Girl Scout leader, a volunteer for many church groups, and a cook for a huge gathering of people. There was a time where both of my daughters were involved in six after-school activities each. These social activities took place after swim meets, dance recitals, and ALL GIRL LITTLE LEAGUE.
That's only a few to mention, there were a variety of social functions, including camp-outs. The first thing that came to mind after reading Cherie Kimmon's fantastic cookbook is that my only regret with this survival guide is not having it back then.
