Soup Potluck
Embrace the cozy vibes with a soup potluck. Prepare a comforting lentil soup or a creamy coconut wild rice and veggie soup. Encourage guests to bring their own favorite soup creations to share, creating a diverse and flavorful feast.
Taco Fiesta
Spice things up with a taco-themed gathering. Offer pinto beans, black beans, guacamole, salsa, and grilled onions and peppers. Let guests build their own delicious tacos, burritos, or tostadas. This crowd-pleasing option is sure to be a hit.
Hawaiian Haystacks with a Twist
Put a plant-based spin on this classic dish by creating a cashew-based mushroom cream sauce and using chickpeas instead of chicken. Provide an array of veggie toppings and don't forget the pineapple for that tropical touch.
Mediterranean Mezze Spread
Create a vibrant Mediterranean feast with an assortment of plant-based dips like hummus, baba ganoush, and tzatziki. Serve alongside fresh pita bread, olives, roasted vegetables, and stuffed grape leaves for a delightful and flavorful experience.
Sushi Night
Roll up some fun with a sushi-themed gathering. Prepare a variety of vegetable sushi rolls, including avocado, cucumber, and sweet potato. Encourage guests to bring their own creative sushi rolls or plant-based side dishes to share. If you don't like sushi, you could do an Asian inspired stir fry bar instead.

Impress your guests with mouthwatering BBQ jackfruit sliders. Slow-cooked jackfruit, marinated in a tangy barbecue sauce, served on mini buns with crunchy slaw, will leave everyone craving more. Offer a variety of plant-based side dishes to complement the sliders.
International Cuisine Potluck
Explore the flavors of the world by hosting an international cuisine potluck. Assign each guest a different country or region, and have them bring a plant-based dish representing that culture. From Indian curries to Mexican enchiladas, the possibilities are endless.
Remember, hosting potluck-style allows everyone to contribute and share their favorite dishes, making the gathering more inclusive and enjoyable. While you may not provide meat or cheese, you're open to guests bringing their own if they desire. Hosting with love and inclusivity is what truly matters.
