BOOK REVIEW: Dip It! by Rick Rodgers
The first thing that pops into your mind at the mere mention of a party is food, fun and memories. Party food is never dainty, you have to get your hands dirty, finger-licking good as the Colonel says. So next time you try a party, try a dip. Or two. Or three. In this book, the author shares 95 of his favorite dip recipes.
Of course, there's the classic onion soup mix, but why not make Rick's updated recipe with onions? For a tailgating party, you'll score big with bowls of tortilla chips served up with meaty Hot Beef and Pinto Bean Chili Dip.
There are plenty of vegetarian spreads too. Scoop wedges of pita into Moroccan Eggplant and Tomato Dip. The Faux Fondue will be a hit with cheese lovers. Rick also offers plenty of lighter dips such as the Red Flame Salsa or Three-Bean Salsa. Need an elegant dip for a special occasion? Try the Pesto-Mascarpone Dip or the silky smooth Two-Salmon Dip. And many of these dips do double duty - use them to bring a little something extra to your sandwiches.
And what's homemade dip without crunchy, crispy dippers? There are recipes for homemade versions of Potato Chips, Herbed Breadsticks, Tortilla Chips, and much more. Also included is a complete list of vegetable dippers that will add snap and color to your table.
The author also offers lots of helpful entertaining tips from do-ahead recipes to creative dip holders. So have a party. Take a dip with Dip It!
