I've made a lot of these in the last week so I thought I would just throw my opinion out there:
Greek Cheese Torta - this was actually one of my favorites when it first came out. Great show recipe, good interactive, shows off good products and feeds a crowd!!
Antipasti Pull-Apart Pizza - this will be one of my new show recipes for the new season. Quick and easy to throw together but shows off some good products. Easy to half if you don't want the whole thing or to add stuff to (like chicken to make it more of a main dish).
Mini Kalamata & Cheese Bruschetta - yah... interesting taste but not fun to put together. The bread disks were cute and easy to make using the biscuit cutters but try topping those little babies! PITA!!!
Primavera Potato Bites - easy to make, pretty tasty but if I make them again I will use real tomatoes.
Chipotle Chili Cornbread Bake - this is actually one of the recipes I'm offering this season - so yummy!
Chicken Piccata Pasta - easy to make, shows off some good recipes but not sure if I would do this as a show recipe. Alot of time spent on the stove top which can still be HOT this time of year around here. DH and I aren't that big of a fan of the lemon pepper rub plus then you add more lemon... My director warned me not to use the full amount of lemon juice so I just did a quick squeeze but it was still too much. I would probably use another seasoning next time. DH wants to make it with shrimp and scallops next time. Good texture and flavor!
Chocolate Raspberry Cookie Trifle - This was one of my show recipes the first time it came out. Uses a lot of bowls but shows of the trifle bowl beautifully.
Caramel Banana Ravioli - Quick and easy to make! This would make a nice 2nd show recipe if you offer that. I couldn't find the Pillsbury Creations around here (they use to have them) so I just made two out of a triangle of dough and topped it with another. The pastry cutter was good to cut them apart but I eventually just pressed them together with my fingers.
After Dinner Mint Triangles - Tried this the first season it was offered. Never did get the topping the right consistancy but these were pretty good. My niece loves to make them.
Mini Chocolate Tiramisu Cakes - Sort of a pain to make, too much time on each step that I don't think it would make a good show recipe. Had a hard time even with the floured tart shaper getting them to form the right shape. Also didn't think it had that great of a flavor. Guess I was expecting something else.
Taffy Apple Tartlets - I've made these before, really yummy and great show recipe.
I still want to make the following recipes:
Italian Meatball Miniburgers
Mini Pesto Pizzas (probably with chicken)
Creamy Broccoli & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzotto
Green, white & Red Lasagna (making this weekend for our meeting - tried it last night and it's really good. Better texture than I thought).
Sicilian Skillet Strata
Italian Pot Pie
Chicken Enchilada Pizza
Decadent Chocolate- Hazelnut Torte
Warm Spumoni Swirl Brownies (had a taste last night and they were really yummy)
This maybe the one SB that I make almost all of the recipes out of
