Third Thursday Community Potluck Cookbook by Nancy
Vienneau
This is one extraordinary southern-recipe cookbook. This is not only a cookbook but a wonderful
idea of getting community together to celebrate the bounty of the season. Nancy and Gigi have formed a community
potluck every third Thursday of the year, with exception of December. The cookbook flows cohesively into a
wonderful story of friends gathering around a table made with love.
My mouth watered the whole time I read! I have made so many bookmarks for the recipes
that I should just try them all. And the
idea! What a wonderful way to gather
folks from the community, no matter who they know, to enjoy a good meal with
friends. This is the first time I “read”
a cookbook but it is well worth the read.
Rhonda, one of the potluckers says, “What happens here is not your usual
potluck.” The recipes found in this
cookbook are anything but usual. I have learned many new techniques like
boiling potatoes with garlic and bay leaves for a subtle hint of flavor.
Nancy Vienneau is a “recovered” caterer turned food writer
and activist. I would recommend this
book to anyone loving southern recipes and loving a slow walk through the
garden with the potluckers.
