I'm making the Garden Ranch Pizza, and then I am also going to make a simple chocolate ganache (served in my small oval stone baker) with some decoratively cut fruit. :) I'm allergic to wheat and I wanted to be able to eat something too ;)
 
Good Luck!!Good Luck to both of you on your 1st kitchen shows. Everybody gets nervous for their first few shows. I'm on my 9th show and I still get nervous. You will be fine.
:) :) :)
 
That's great! Try to relax and have FUN! Even if something goes wrong, laugh it off and make a joke out of it. I think the shows that are fun have the most bookings come out of them. Good luck!
 
Great!The Garden Ranch Pizza is always a hit when I make it. There is never any left!

Don't let your nerves get to you. It really isn't that bad!

Have fun!!! :cool:
 
NervesCongrats on booking your first "REAL" show!!!! YAHOO!! :p
Don't worry about it! Relax and have fun! ;)
My first show was at my house and I was so nervous I almost called everyone and told them not to show up! My husband gave me a swift kick in the butt, and told me to suck it up! :eek:
Not only was the show fun, it was over $1400 by the time I was finished! Head office called to congratulate me on a GREAT first show!

Once the first one is over, the rest are easy as cake. (Or pie. I like cake better) :cool:

Good luck! I know you will be GREAT! Let your love for the GREAT products shine through!

Cheers!

Thank you everyone! I am really more excited than nervous :D Plus my mom called earlier and said she's got enough sales to submit a catalog show ALREADY, and she's only had her catalogs for like, two days, so YEA! :D :D :D
 
Can someone give me the recipe to chocolate ganache. Thanks
 
curiousCongrats on scheduling your first show! :)

I was wondering though did your recruiter not require you to have at least 4 shows scheduled before you signed up? I guess they could have all been catalog shows or at your house. Just curious to learn how other people do it.
Thanks

I did not have a recruiter. I decided I wanted to sell Pampered Chef and then they sent me the local director's phone number through the website.

Chocolate Ganache (from Alton Brown, www.foodtv.com)

Bring 3 Tbs corn syrup and 6 oz heavy cream to a simmer in a sauce pan. Add 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped, and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. That's it! Super easy and wow delicious!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do to prepare for my first real kitchen show?

To prepare for your first kitchen show, start by familiarizing yourself with the Pampered Chef products you'll be showcasing. Create a detailed plan for the menu and recipes you'll be demonstrating. Ensure you have all necessary tools and ingredients ready, and practice your presentation to feel confident. Additionally, reach out to your guests ahead of time to remind them of the event and encourage them to bring friends.

How can I invite guests to my kitchen show?

You can invite guests through various methods such as personal phone calls, text messages, social media, or email invitations. Make sure to convey your excitement about the event and highlight what they can expect, such as delicious food, fun activities, and exclusive offers. Consider creating a Facebook event or using an online invitation service for easy tracking and reminders.

What types of recipes are best for a kitchen show?

Choose recipes that are simple, quick, and showcase the versatility of Pampered Chef products. Dishes that can be prepared in under 30 minutes are ideal, as they keep guests engaged and allow for interaction. Consider recipes that allow for audience participation, such as assembling a dish or sampling different flavors, to make the experience more interactive and enjoyable.

How do I handle guests who are not familiar with Pampered Chef products?

When encountering guests who are unfamiliar with Pampered Chef, take the opportunity to educate them about the products and their benefits. Share personal stories or experiences with the products, and encourage questions. Use demonstrations to highlight the ease and efficiency of the tools, and provide handouts or catalogs for guests to take home for further reference.

What should I do after the kitchen show is over?

After the kitchen show, follow up with your guests to thank them for attending and to gather feedback. Send out a summary of the recipes demonstrated along with any special offers or promotions. This is also a great time to encourage them to place orders or book their own shows. Building relationships and maintaining communication can lead to future sales and bookings.
