Arrive in Style

If you’re tasked with bringing a dish to a backyard potluck, take a look through our recipe archive for simple, original ideas guaranteed to impress. During the cocktail hour, thick,

herbaceous Basil Dip is a fun mash-up of French onion dip and pesto—it’s terrific scooped up with warm pita, raw veggies or potato chips. For a superb side beyond the usual suspects, have

a look at our Cheese-Topped Summer Ratatouille, where the Provençal stew is baked under a gooey layer of eggs, cream and two kinds of cheese. Bonus: It has enough substance to moonlight as a vegetarian entrée. Finally, you’ll be the life of the party if you roll in carrying a sweet-tart Strawberry, Raspberry & Toasted Coconut Crumble Pie. When the last crumbs are gobbled up, everyone will want the recipe.
