Potluck dinner

Everyone brings one dish to share, so the host is not cooking alone and the table is full of variety.

How to do it

  1. Make a shared list so you get a mix of mains, sides, salads and desserts.
  2. Ask everyone to label their dish with key allergens and dietary notes.
  3. Set out plates, serving spoons and a drinks table before guests arrive.
  4. Add a simple game after dinner, such as one-word clues or a quiz.
