I was wondering where I could get other recipes that require only the SS-kit items. Is it on PC site?

Also, if there is a recipe that you want to do but you don't have the products to do it...how do you improvise?
 
Check in your Recipe for Success binder. There are SS recipes and show outlines.
 
Also, the last two recipes in each section of the Season's Best are SS recipes. So there's six right there.

I know about that. :-PI meant, are there other ones that y'all know of? Besides from the current SB?
 
Banana Toffee Pizza and Cool Veggie Pizza were what I made at my first shows.

You could also do a ring recipe. The Taco Ring is pretty easy and includes mostly SS tools.
 
The way I look at it, if the recipe calls for the Chef's Knife, I would use the Utility Knife. Do you have any of the recipe books? If you do, look through them and flag those that interest you. See what tools you have that you could use in place of ones you don't. I'll see if I can find any specific recipes you could use.

I don't have any of the cookcooks except this spring/summer SB. And I like the recipes in there but I'd like to make other things besides Italian food. I went on the PC website and found a couple from the past SB. But I would like more options. Oh, btw, which cookbook do you recommened that I get first? Thanks a bunch!

All the Best is the one I would suggest to get first...I use it all the time!
 
Free Cookbook!If you make your SSI, then you get a free stoneware collections cookbook. I just received mine yesterday! There are a lot of recipes you can use the large round stone with on the web site though.

I made a fruit pizza at my last show with 1 roll of sugar cookie dough roll out and bake for 18 minutes on stone and let cool. (You need to take a knife and release it from the stone after it has cooled). I took it like this to the show. I had the guests help make it ( per the hostsess' request). You put 1/2cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla with 1 pkg. cream cheese and spread on cookie and then top with whatever you want.

I used canned peaches and mandarin oranges - to show off the can opener
strawberries - to show off the corer and egg slicer
kiwi - to show off the knife
blueberries - just like them
We whipped heavy cream then added about 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla and I had them use the EAD. I had frozen the balloon whisk and a stainless bowl ( middle one) and we whisked unti we asked for an electric mixer. Everyone had such a good time cooking that time flew by and people ordered what we used in the demos.
We also made a cheese dip and bacon tomato squares.
:cool:
I know this is really long BUT I had told the host that you could cook the bacon on the large bar pan and she was shocked but did it that way and 3 people ordered a bar pan just for that very reason. I didn't have any cookbooks either but the host did and she pulled out what she wanted and it worked very well.
 
Do you have the recipe for the Garden Ranch Pizza? I made that constantly during my SS months. Always a hit and uses TONS of products from you SS kit.

Here it is:

Garden Ranch Pizza
1 package (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust
½ C. mayonnaise
½ package (1 oz) ranch seasoning salad dressing mix (2 T.)
1 garlic clove, pressed (optional)
2 C (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 C coarsely chopped broccoli
½ C diced red bell pepper
1 medium carrot, sliced
½ C pitted ripe olives, sliced
¼ C (1 oz) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly sprinkle large round stone with flour. Unroll pizza dough on baking stone, shaping into circle. Roll dough to edge of baking stone. In classic batter bowl combine mayonnaise, seasoning mix and pressed garlic. Whisk ingredients using whisk. Spread mix evenly over crust to within ½ “ of edge using scraper. Top with half of the mozzarella cheese. Coarsely chop broccoli with food chopper. Dice pepper with utility knife. Thinly slice carrot with crinkle cutter. Slice olives with egg slicer plus. Sprinkle vegetables over pizza; top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Grate parmesan cheese over pizza using cheese grater. Bake 18-22 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes.

**you can also do this on the rectangular stone. Good luck!!!

Ask your director to borrow anything you don't have. Here are some of the recipes I made my first 3 months!

Good luck!
