In the summer, you'll find us eating and drinking outside as much as we possibly can. So when it comes to throwing parties, we turn to potlucks to make hosting as stress-free as possible -- and to maximize our time out-of-doors.

They vet recipes, create cookbooks and apps, answer food and cooking questions, throw potlucks, and share their favorite products.
