S2E4: The Logistics of Hosting (and Attending) Potlucks with Kristin Donnelly

For Episode 4, we had the chance to chat with Kristin Donnelly, the author of the Modern Potluck cookbook, and her newest cookbook, Cauliflower. Throughout this episode we talk about Kristin's past career as a Food & Wine magazine food editor, the logistics of hosting potlucks, potluck tips for guests, and more. We definitely all hit it off and ended up on a few tangents including pyrex outlet stores and pig roasts. Hope you enjoy!
