FunTime Family Night--Dip It and a Movie!

After searching EVERYWHERE for a recipe for ratatouille that children could at least TOLERATE to go along with a fun home movie night--I found this gem of a book. There are several excellent dips using common ingredients like lime and cilantro, one "home made" onion dip that--frankly--we liked the soup mix kind better AND the ratatouille receipe! His good suggestions included cutting up the veggies into good size pieces (about 1/2 ") and roasting them first. That keeps their color and it doesn't turn into a grey mush. Additionally, because this is FUN, the kids can actually pick out "suspect" veggies because they can see them. Typically they get so engrossed in the movie and it's love of fine food they can be persuaded to at least try a new veggie. Best of all the sidebars offer many good suggestions for non-traditional dippers--like toasted whole grain pita triangles to make a meal out of a fun time.

Dip It! Great Party Food to Spread, Spoon, and Scoop.

I have a number of Rick Rodgers books. I have also taken two demo classes with him for holiday menus. This book is typical Rodgers, well written, concise and intriguing. A different take on the most favorite of all party foods. I ordered it for my three kids.

love it!

In my search for a great dip book, I found it in this one. I did a lot of searching and browsing and came upon this book. The recipes are easy to make and delicious. I also like the little tidbits at the beginning of eat recipe, along with recommended dippers.

SO EASY!

I just purchased this book a few weeks ago, and I cannot believe how easy the recipes are. Simple ingredients... awesome results. I first tried the seven-layer dip - SUCCESS! Everybody loved it... and wanted the recipe. With recipes like these, I am definitely looking forward to hosting many more parties!
