Get Ready for the Holidays: Festive Show Recipes for Your Consultant Business

[HollyMac20]

I am getting ready to start my first holiday season as a consultant. I am looking for some festive recipes to do at shows.

What are some of your favorite Holiday recipes?

Thanks!

The Brie recipe in the SBRC is really good - any of the variations. And you can make it a fun entertaining show by also demoing the Cran-Raspberry Fizz from last fall's SBRC (there are a couple years worth of them posted on CC under the Recipes tab).Any appetizer can be turned into a Holiday Entertaining show, it's just in how you market it.

As a fellow consultant, I have a few favorite holiday recipes that I love to share at my shows. One of my go-to recipes is a cranberry brie tart. It's simple, elegant, and perfect for the holiday season. Another one is a peppermint bark cheesecake, which is always a crowd-pleaser. I also love making mini quiches with holiday-themed ingredients, such as ham and cheese or spinach and feta. And for a sweet treat, I like to make chocolate-dipped pretzels with festive sprinkles on top. These recipes are not only delicious, but they also showcase some of our fantastic products, like our stoneware and chocolate melting pot. I hope these ideas inspire you and your customers this holiday season! Happy cooking!

Hi there! Congratulations on starting your first holiday season as a consultant! That's so exciting! As a fellow consultant, I have a few go-to holiday recipes that are always a hit at my shows. One of my favorites is a holiday cheese ball, made with cream cheese, cranberries, and chopped pecans. It's easy to make and looks festive on a platter with crackers. Another crowd-pleaser is a hot chocolate bar, where guests can customize their own hot chocolate with different toppings like marshmallows, candy canes, and caramel sauce. And for a savory option, I love making mini quiches with holiday-themed fillings like spinach and feta or roasted vegetables. I hope these ideas inspire you and best of luck with your holiday shows! Happy cooking!
