Cooking Games for Potluck

The holidays bring a wave of potluck opportunities, and not all of them are easy to manage. If you’ve been asked to play some cooking games and whip up something delicious to bring to a potluck function, get a bit creative or stick to the basics, but don’t go overboard – this is supposed to be fun, remember?

Potatoes. You can’t go wrong with potatoes. People on all sorts of diets like to eat potatoes and you have plenty of choices as to how to prepare them. You can cut up new potatoes and season them before pan frying. Or create mashed potatoes with a bit of gravy on the side. They are easy to transport and everyone will love your cooking games.

Salad. A salad is another easy item to bring, and it has the added bonus of not being too hot to carry easily. Your salad should be a bit more than just a head of lettuce – try and make it more exciting than the basics, but bringing something green to a gathering shows a bit of balance in the cooking games as well.

Group Cooking Games

There are so many different opportunities to get together over the holiday season, so it's no wonder that there are endless parties that involve group activities for group cooking games. If you're thinking about throwing a party, consider the possibilities that come with a group cooking game.

Fondue Party - Find a recipe for fondue and then tearing up bread pieces and finding some fruit. You can have a fondue pot with cheese and perhaps a chocolate fountain to make it even tastier dessert from snack foods.

Cookie Party - Another easy cooking games party is to simply make a bunch of sugar cookies and then allow your guests to decorate them as they would like. They might decorate just the one cookie to eat now, or you can encourage them to decorate many more cookies and bring them home as a sort of party favor.

Pizza Party – Your cooking games don’t all have to be about sweets. You can easily have your guests create their own pizzas instead. Cook them up and then everyone can enjoy a bit of a hot meal on a cold day!
