Would anyone be willing to share the personal 'script' or outline that they use for their shows? I have two this weekend, and one booked for August right now, and I have to follow up with 3 people about booking shows. Thanks!:)

Thank you so much!! That was very helpful! :)
 
Katie - there is a huge thread with probably 20 scripts for specific recipes. Do a seerch to see what you can find and I will too.
 
Thanks for posting your script! I really like how detailed it is.
 
What a great script. I flows well and is very detailed! I have already saved to my computer to adapt to my recipe this Saturday!
 
Awww...you guys are so nice! I honestly make it so detailed so I don't forget anything. Of course, I go with the flow once at the show and may greatly condense parts or even skip some parts but I like knowing I have all the info I can anticipate needing so I don't look unprofessional. :p

Very cool ideas here, thank everyone!! I am going to do a search for more scripts now....
I have two shows this weekend, and last night I had someone book for July...I offered to cook dinner for my boyfriends mom & dad, and made everyone pizza, and brought 2 stones, and the bakers roller, Italian seasonings, and the pizza cutter...they loved it, and she said she must have a party, and has a lot of people that want to come...so I am psyched.:D
