I have chopped ginger for curries in the Food Chopper with great success. Any chance of the dim sum recipes - not been in our cookbooks in the UK. Thanks, Yvonne

I did a small F/R for a pre-school group and had two survey slips from girls who hadn't purchased anything. They were friends. One had a show last month, and the other booked from her show and is looking at the business opportunity when she has her show next month. I can't believe that...

New to us in the UK in AprilWe just found out at our cluster meeting that we will get this facility in the UK in April. Although I am very excited about this, I don't know much about it yet. Do I take it we can't advertise our web-site? PC is not known really in the North of England where I...

Great IdeaWhat a great idea! My PC New Year's Resolution is to be more pro-active but yet think outside of the box, and although I have thought about contacting Brownie Groups for Fund Raisers, I hadn't thought about badges! Will put some thought into that and see if I can't put a letter...

As I want both participants to do the same recipe at the same time, I need to think what tools are being used as I will need two of everything. Chopping board aren't a problem as they don't need to both have the same size, and I have two batter bowls, but I will have to borrow extra stuff...

Yes I thought I would get them to do one of the rings as that can be hilarious to watch if you haven't done it before. I thought I would get the audience to judge the winner and offer a bottle of wine!

For some time at my shows, I have been pushing the idea of a Cook-Off as a school fundraiser where maybe the Head Teacher could go up against the Deputy Head. Finally someone has taken me up on this for February. I am going to borrow some products from my director and get both "volunteers" to...

Butterscotch Dip with Apple WedgesI have just had a fund raiser tonight and I did a couple of quick recipes while I was waiting for my main Dessert to cook - this was at home with my friends by the way, I wouldn't normally do more than one recipe! I did a Fudgey Fondue to show off the simple...

Lovely but watch out!The Ham and Brocolli Ring is lovely, but watch out - when I made it the centre of the ring had some liquid which I had to soak up with some paper towel before I took it to the table. Don't know if it was from the brocolli or not. It looked and tasted fine - once I had...

Different in UKNow this might be different in the UK but..... as a F/R is only 10% contribution if the show is under £400 and 15% if over (plus commission is 15% for a F/R and 20% for a KS). I know consultants who have put F/R's with low sales through as a home Kitchen Show and taken the host...

Hello Ladies (and gentlemen) - I need help! My mouth ran away with me the other night, and I need some suggestions to help me pull off the show I am going to do in November. I am fine with Cooking with Kids shows, have done one and have gained some great tips so have ideas for my next one...

Confused :confused: Do you ask for volunteers to be the suspects? Do they suggest their own alibis? What lies have they told? Am I just being stupid? Yvonne

RecipeMaybe you could choose the recipe yourself. Just leave a message saying:- "I haven't heard from you about the food, so I will go with my favourite which is extremely popular at Bridal Shows, which is....., and I will be shopping for the ingredients on Thursday". She's only got herself...

Well Done!Congrats on your first show, and well done for your bookings. I have been doing this for 12 months and my bookings still aren't consistent. In my last 3 shows, I have only got 2 bookings, and they were at the same one! What ever it was you did was obviously right - so keep up the...

Show to GoWe have the "show to go" for our September / October promotion in the UK too. Do they ship each piece as you earn it? I hope so, I can't wait to get the Tool Turn About Tote! Yvonne
