The Potters’ Guild of Baltimore Cookbook: Lynn Perlin’s Taco Dip

Today is National Corn Chip Day, so here is a tasty dish that’s perfect to scarf down with a bag of Tostitos.

Mr. Sauce got this cookbook for me as a little present last year because: Baltimore.

I don’t know what year this is from, but based the cover on the inclusion of recipes such as “Boursin,” Bran Muffins, and Mushrooms Stuffed with Pesto, I’d say the very early 80s. I dunno, that reads 80s to me. But what do I know?

Answer: 

Anyhoooooo!

Here’s Lynn Perlin’s Taco Dip.

Note: Lynn Perlin contributed nearly every single recipe in this cookbook.

I did a little research on Lynn and found out that as of 2021 she was in a retirement community in Columbia, MD and still making pottery! 

I found some of her work on online:

But I digress, It’s Taco Dip!

I brought this to a party; which is good because I could eat one of these by myself. No lie. My mum made a very similar version every time we’d have a group of people for summer parties. I have such fond memories of this dish.

Seriously, give me one of these cold, cheesy dips and a bag of tortilla chips and, well, it’d not be pretty. Hence why it was good that I was with this in the presence of others.

It’s like a vegetarian taco salad on steroids. With nothing but the dressing.

I wish I had one now while I’m writing this. It’s good shit.
