I have a host who is doing a Catalog Show for me right now. She is really nice and I didn't even have to work on getting her to host a show for me...she approached me about having one. Anyway, she is a teacher and I was wondering if I brought food samples to her school, can I call that a Cooking Show? I really want to help her get the most of her host benefits.

Thanks,
Irene
 
I don't see why not.
 
I wouldn't see a problem with it if YOU got in front of a handful of people and talked about some of the products. One of the benefits to us with a cooking show is it is so much easier to get bookings. The extra $15 in FPV is actually to help us keep our business going.
 
As long as something food wise is done then yes I believe so.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.
 
you can call it a cooking show if you want. no one will know but you.
 
As long as there is a recipe made then you can put it in as a cooking show. So yes, if you make a recipe and take it down to the school you can put it in as a cooking show.

BTW, I personally wouldn't put it in as a cooking show b/c you could get in trouble for it. The teacher could say something than it could go on and on and everyone would be wanting to do catalog shows for you and getting the extra product....JMI
