I posted the other day that I was doing my first cooking show since mid July and I asked for recipe ideas - what's everyone making? Well I just wanted to thank everyone who replied.

I had the show yesterday and we had 9 guests (well 10 but one was only 13 yo) and the show is at 912.75 and we're not closing for another week. WOOHOO! Looking for another 1K show and so is the host! :D I had my last 1K in May, did 2 shows in June, one show in July and then nothing in August and now this one. I'm doing the happy dance here :D
 
which recipe did you end up making????
 
That is AWESOME Jodi - I am also curious what you made for a recipe!
 
Woohoo that is awesome, I'm curious like the others on what you cooked up?
 
Woo Hoo! Way to go! I'm the same what did you end up making?

I offered the chicken fajitas, spinach carbonara pizza, artichoke dip, jerk chicken nachos and ham & cheese brunch squares. I usually only offer to choose between 2 but since I couldn't decide, I left it up to her. I sent the ingredients for each one. She chose the ham & cheese squares because she had alot of the ingredients in the house already so it kept her costs down.

Of the 9 guests, 2 were senior citizens, 4 were almost there ;) and three were mid to late thirties. But 2 of the 4 almost there's, 1 of the senior's and 1 of the others (for a total of 4) had never even heard of PC. Only 2 orders didn't qualify for the guest special (which is $80 here).

Orders were $156.50, $96.00, $62.25, $98.75, $167.00, $61.25, $102.25, $85.00. $83.75 plus shipping and 13% tax :)

This will be my 16th 1K show and I soooo needed it after the long break!
 
Great job! Those big shows get you respirited and ready to keep going.
 
Congratulations! Boy, you sure jumped back into cooking shows with a big splash. :)
 
WOW... thats great~
Every once in a while you need a huge show.... I'm hoping one comes my way soon! :)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a successful cooking show impact future bookings?

A successful cooking show can create a positive ripple effect, leading to more bookings. When guests enjoy the experience and see the value of the products demonstrated, they are more likely to host their own shows or refer friends who might be interested in hosting.

What role does guest engagement play in future show prospects?

Guest engagement is crucial for the success of a cooking show. When guests are actively involved, asking questions and participating in the cooking process, they are more likely to feel connected to the products and the host, increasing the likelihood that they will consider hosting their own show in the future.

Can testimonials from cooking show attendees influence future shows?

Yes, testimonials from attendees can significantly influence future shows. Positive feedback shared by guests can serve as powerful word-of-mouth marketing, encouraging others to host shows or attend future events, as they trust the experiences of their friends and family.

How does showcasing products during a cooking show affect sales at future events?

Showcasing products during a cooking show allows guests to see the items in action, which can lead to increased sales at future events. When guests experience the effectiveness and quality of the products firsthand, they are more likely to purchase them or recommend them to others.

What strategies can hosts use to leverage a successful cooking show for future opportunities?

Hosts can leverage a successful cooking show by following up with attendees, offering exclusive promotions, and encouraging them to book their own shows. Additionally, sharing photos and highlights from the event on social media can keep the momentum going and attract new potential hosts and guests.
