I will be doing a show in November which will have more men than my normal shows. Any suggestions as to what type of demo/recipe would be of interest to them?
 
Men love Deviled Eggs, and the Chocolate Turtle Cake. My husband loves the Taco Soup recipe and its flavor. Bread Pudding has also been a winner with the guys who have had any of it from my parties.
 
I suggest panini. Either the chicken and portobello from the theme show, or the turkey and cranberry onion maramalade recipe from Cooking for Two.Make sure you show a lot of high-priced items. I've found that when there are men at my shows, they're actually the folks who are more likely to purchase those items.

Hi there! Congratulations on your upcoming show in November! It's always exciting to have a different audience and I'm sure the men will enjoy it.One suggestion for a demo/recipe that may be of interest to them is a grilling demonstration. Men tend to enjoy grilling and it's a great way to showcase some of our products, such as our grill pan or BBQ tools. You could also incorporate a recipe for a delicious marinade or rub to go with the grilled meat.Another idea could be a demonstration for a quick and easy meal, as men may appreciate recipes that are simple and efficient. Our cookware and kitchen gadgets make meal prep a breeze, so this could be a great way to showcase the versatility of our products.Lastly, you could also consider doing a demo for a hearty and filling meal, such as a slow cooker recipe or a one-pot meal. Men often enjoy hearty and comforting dishes, and our products make it easy to create these types of meals.I hope these suggestions are helpful and I wish you all the best for your show in November! Let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy cooking!
