A Taste of Fame

Is America ready to meet the Potluck Catering Club on reality TV?

The women of the Potluck Catering Club have a growing business. They even became the subject of a budding filmmaker's class project. Problem is, they didn't read the fine print when they signed off on his documentary. When he enters the club in the reality show The Great Party Showdown, the ladies of Summit View, Colorado, must head to the Big Apple for the unexpected adventure of their lives.

Between navigating New York City, dealing with cutthroat contestants, and trying to maintain their close friendship in the surreal world of reality TV, the Potluck women must keep their eyes on the prize--a cool million dollars--and work together if they're going to make it back home in one piece.

IMHO: I loved this story. It is fresh and unique to the Christian fiction market. I really have to say the characters have become friends. Each of these women came across as real with hangup that you can relate to. I loved that each chapter is written from a different character. The story has some very humorous parts and they are balanced with times you might want to cry a bit. I also love that the recipes for the items mentioned are at the back of the book. I haven't read the others in the series but I think I am going to pick up a copy. Even though it is a series I didn't feel like I was lost at any point. It does fine as a stand alone.

THE POTLUCK CLUB COOKBOOK REVIEW

THE POTLUCK CLUB COOKBOOK by Linda Evans Shepherd and Eva Marie Everson is full of some easy recipes. I am not what you would call an impressive cook. I often have to scrounge in my cabinets to come up with dinner that is edible. So for me a cookbook, needs to have simple recipe with few steps and ingredients that I would actually have in my pantry. This cook book does both of those things. The cook book includes appetizers, breads, deserts, meat dishes, breakfast, crock-pot meals and even cooking lite among several other categories. On each of the recipes Linda and Eva have added a comment about it. They also have added for each section a little glimpse into their writing of the Potluck Series. If you enjoy cooking or even if you don't but have to cook for substance this cookbook has some great recipes.

“Eating in is the new eating out,” says Eva Marie Everson, a potluck enthusiast and co-author of The Potluck Club Cookbook. For instance, Everson and her husband used to meet up with another couple each month over dinner at a different restaurant. “But with the recent economy, we started eating in and dining à la potluck. We get to sit on a screened-in patio and watch the sun set over the lake behind the house. We all agree we should have been doing this all along!”
