[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Petty but hear me out. Nothing I take for a potluck gets finished. I use recipes and tips from America’s Test Kitchen and Cooks’ Illustrated and use ‘high’ quality ingredients but they turn out pretty unimpressive.  I am an immigrant and don’t have recipes passed down from my family and didn’t grow up eating these foods (I’m Peruvian). I tend to use online sources. So help me out - what are good sources to make crowd-pleasing recipes. To give you an example this is what I made recently that didn’t go over well.

Dessert - peanut candy-marshmallows-pretzel squares with Guittard chocolate chips for a 4th of July themed potluck.

Pasta salad - pasta cooked soft per recipe,  with sundried tomatoes, olives and marinated stuff, dressing made with olive oiletc.[/quote]

OP both of those are fine. But honestly, I personally would not eat the candy one. I don't eat peanuts or marshmallows in candy. But that is just me.

Pot lucks are like this. Especially nowadays.

If you go to another one you should just remember most likely not getting eaten. You are there to have fun. Yes, wasting ingredients possibly but it's a risk.
