First Cooking Show on Thursday...

[PattieChef21]

Hi,
I'm a brand new Consultant! I had my Grand Opening show (which wasn't what I had hoped, so many people cancelled and then didn't want to order), but I got a few bookings from that show and my first cooking show is this Thursday night.
It's my soon-to-be Mother-In-Law's party, so I know most of the people that are coming, there are a few that I don't I'm not worried about that part.

I'm more wondering what I should do to prepare for it. My Leader will be there with me, thank goodness, I wouldn't know what I'd do without her!

What did you guys do for your first show? We are cooking basically a full meal; Chicken, rice, and the Stocking no bake cake!

Any advice would be great! I've enjoyed browsing through these boards in my first couple of weeks!

First of all Congrats on your fresh start!!!!! As long as you read all of the materials that come in the starter kit and you practice you will have no problem....little scary at first, but that usually happens....if you have a video camera you could record yourself and play back to get some tips for yourself...Good luck!!!! Love what I do...my goal Director March 1, 2011

my advice only do 1 recipe you are setting yourself up for future bookings to want 3 recipes too

Yeah, I tried to convince her to just do the chicken or the cake, but she insisted on feeding everyone dinner. I think I'm going to pick out a couple recipes each month for my hosts to pick from that month. Probably something accordingly with that month

You could tell everyone there "Although we made a lot of food, it was for a good reason! I wanted to demonstrate all the different types of recipes we could make. We'll choose one recipe from this list [have a list handy] and demonstrate how to make it at your show."

Yes, don't get stuck doing 3 recipes at every show! You could put it that since it's your very special MIL who is hosting your very first cooking show. But do say that you'll do 1 recipe at shows as Shelby stated.
