Second, really SELL those host benefits. PC offers THE BEST host benefits...talk about them a lot. Show the current host how much MORE she can get when people have a show off hers.
Finally, if that just doesn't seem to work, you could offer them something small when they HOLD their show like free groceries or $5 extra to spend or something...

Also, be sure to let your guests know that just for hosting a Cooking show we reimburse you $15 in free product for the groceries! One of my consultants got a booking by phrasing it that way.
Dont' get discouraged...I don't think I got a booking AT a show until my 12th show.
