If they live close to you, I would prepare the whole recipe, cover the loaf with tin foil then serve immediately on arrival. If they live a little further away, you could take the dip in an airtight container. Place the cob loaf and bread pieces in their oven to toast for 10 minutes, then add the pre-made dip to the hollowed out loaf. Place on a platter and serve with the warm bread and freshly cut veggies.
