Anyone have suggestions other than the Hawaiian Chicken to make at this kind of party. I want to do fruit kebobs w/ a chocolate fondue my SIL told me about.. and I have a great French Cream from the FoodNetwork. But that will be on the table. I need a demo that would be really good that you 've eaten before. I cannot cook in front of anyone on the stove, its in a different room.

I'd love a yummy pizza recipe. Pineapple and bacon just wont cut it.. I wont even try it! lol

Thank you so much for your help!
 
If you want to cook, but cooking in the kitchen will be a bother then go out a purchase a burner (hot plate thing) from Wal-Mart. They are under $10 and plug into the wall. It is a small electric grill.

lolShari and I are sis in laws.. we live very close :)

Thanks Sha, I'll look at the book and see the recipes.

I'm thinking that delicious salad in the Seasons Best.. the Thai chicken salad.. or the Artichoke Salad was yummy Or never tried the caesar salad pizza..

Anyone have a recommendation?
 
I just LOVE the caesar salad pizza. I make it on the rectangle stone though and call it caesar salad squares. Seemed to get more takers that wanted me to make it when I called it that :confused:

Thanks JodiDo people seem like they wont like it b/c of the cream cheese? I know thats whats throwing me off.
 
My version that I have in the It's good for you cookbook doesn't have cream cheese. I know the version I found on Joyce's fine cooking does have it. I use the recipe without.
 
I'm doing a Luau theme show next month...I am doing Pineapple Upside Down Cake in the Exec. skillet....trying to push that cookware !! Also having fruit tray (in the new chillzanne) and hawaiian fruit dip that was already mentioned. Also...will do some kind of Tropical drink...Pina Colada (virgin or not ???) maybe...in the Quick Stir Pitcher !!

Coconut Shrimp would be good too....just an afterthought !

Prepare a printed recipe card for guests to take home, and practice the demo beforehand to familiarize yourself with the process. Use visual aids, such as showing the finished product at the beginning, and engage your audience by inviting them to participate in certain steps.

This not only demonstrates the products but also encourages guests to consider purchasing them.

What should I do if I run out of time during my demo?

If you run out of time during your demo, have a pre-prepared version of the recipe ready to show. You can also summarize the remaining steps and explain how the dish would look once completed. Engaging with your audience by answering questions and discussing variations can help fill any time gaps while keeping the energy up.
