ReviewsGathering together to break bread invites connection and joy. Ali show us exactly how easy (and delicious!) making food to share with others can be. I love how Ali takes covered-dish classics and gives them a tiny tweak: her Chocolate and Walnut Rice Krispies Bars and Cauliflower Gratin are pure genius. Bring It! is a true celebration of feasting together.-- Melissa d'Arabian, author of Supermarket Healthy and host of Food Network's Ten Dollar Dinners
SynopsisBring It! is the ultimate source for potluck, picnic, or dinner party-worthy dishes that combine simple prep with big taste!

Inside Bring It! , you will find dozens of impressive-looking recipes that come together easily, and are perfect for carrying to any occasion. Author Ali Rosen has put a long career in the food world to use, drawing on chef and restaurant secrets for easy dishes that will have friends begging for the recipe. Must-have dishes include:  Pimento Cheese and Crab Dip  Snap Pea Salad with Parmesan and Bacon  Pistachio and Anchovy Pasta  Short Ribs with Quick Pickled Shallots  S'mores Bars Each recipe includes a note called "How to Bring It," for make-ahead, reheating, and transport instructions. Flavors are designed for maximum impact, but won't take hours to cook, or require special ingredients. Have dinner with the neighbors, sit down to a picnic in the park, or bring a dish to the school luncheon. They come together easily, hold well, and travel beautifully. They'll have you rethinking the potluck.
