This Month's Fare

Dining Around With Kikkoman

A Progressive Dinner gets everyone cooking - so no one person is stuck with all the work. It's a great way to get to know neighbors or gather nearby family and friends. You "progress" from house to house, enjoying a different course at each stop.

Kikkoman is making it even easier by providing theme ideas with menus and recipes…even a checklist to get you started.

1. Choose the theme for the menu and the recipes for each course (see below). Kikkoman's variety of sauces means you'll have plenty of recipe ideas to choose from - from authentic Asian to all-American.
2. Assign each course to a person or family. Start or end at your home so you can kick off or wrap up the evening.
3. If you invite more households than there are courses, ask others to bring beverages for a given course.
4. Send a "menu" invitation outlining the evening.
