20 Easy Recipes For Your Next Potluck Lunch - Featured image for recipe collection curated by Shruthi Reddy

Potlucks are the most exciting gathering with friends or family where each one attending the get-together cooks delicious food and contributes to the menu. Did you know the word potluck comes in the 16th century English work of Thomas Nashe, and means "food provided for an unexpected or uninvited guest, the luck of the pot."

Potlucks are usually for small gathering and either the menu theme is decided much earlier or the guests are allowed to pick recipes of their choice and carry them along. The menu usually ranges from welcome drinks to desserts depending on the location where the party is being hosted. It's always a nice idea to host potluck parties at home since electric appliances like the oven and refrigerators can be used for heating or cooling dishes.   

Ok, you must already be planning your next party now and we at Archana's Kitchen are always excited about such gatherings and thought this would be the best time to help you plan your menu. We have curated a 6 course potluck party meal with 4 recipe options in each course that's easy and delicious. Have a look at them below and tell us what else would you like us to add in the menu.
