Specifically, what types of foods can be brought to raw potlucks?
First of all, understand, the raw food police are not going to arrest you if your recipe contains a small amount of a cooked condiment or flavoring, for example, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (soy sauce), mustard, dried herbs, or such.

However, people often forget this point and come just to have fun without making any effort to create a raw dish, or worse, bring processed food or unimaginative low-quality veggie, fruit, or nut trays, salads from a bag or jar, etc. from grocery stores.
