"PartyDips" news and stories

We're doing a week's worth of dips to prepare for the SuperBowl - which hopefully will provide you with more than enough recipes (or at least some inspiration) to get you through game day - but if you want even more ideas, take a look at Party Dips! 50 Zippy, Zesty, Spicy, Savory, Tasty, Tempting Dips. This short cookbook covers a wide range of dips and ideas for different foods that need dipping, aside from the obvious carrot sticks and potato chips.

The book was written by Sally Sampson, who seems to be an expert on perfecting these party guest-pleasing foods. The dips are divided up into chapters - smooth, chunky and cheesy - and the recipe chapters are augmented by sections with general tips on making dips and on party planning in general. You won't find any "onion soup mix/sour cream dips." Instead, you'll get Red Bean and Chipotle Dip, Creamy Almond-Basil Pesto Dip, Artichoke and Feta Dip and Goat Cheese Spread with Dried Apricots and Pistachios.
