Avoid what you know and get a little curious with your meals, this isn’t your standard potluck. Some groups use these clubs to be adventurous and experiment with new cuisines or gourmet ingredients offered by an epicure, unlike the recipes you would find at a typical potluck supper. Themes are a good place to start. Apples are a great starting place to celebrate the arrival of autumn or a party at the beach to welcome summer. Use your imagination and let your tastes buds freely wander the food landscape. Experiment with flavors from India, China, Mexico, and France.
