I'm just in my 3rd month and looking for ideas for July kitchen demos. Do you do one or 2 recipes?
 
one recipe is enough, otherwise your show is too long - but I do bring decorative brownies made with my silicone floral cupcake pan as a bonus - sell at least one at every party.
 
Danette, I'm highlighting recipes which don't require the oven to be turned on, or at least not for very long. Assuming you have only the Consultant Kit, there's an awesome pizza for the Large Bar Pan which uses refrigerated croissant dough, cream cheese, and fresh veggies (I'm at work, so don't have time to look up the recipe, but I'm sure someone else can post it). Maybe do a layered bean dip in the Classic Batter Bowl. If you have tools in addition to the Kit, let us know, so we can help you brainstorm.

I do two recipes - one savory and one sweet, but I make sure the sweet is quick and easy. The length of my shows tend to depend more on how much fun people are having than the recipes themselves (the other night the show started by 7, and we didn't get out of there until 10:30!! If the recipes were the only thing determining the length of the show, we would have been done by 8:30).
 
Sometimes I will do one recipe at the show and bring either a pc drink or dessert. When I started I just did 1 until I got comfortable I had several hosts right in a row request that I do 2. Good luck to you..
 
Hi there! Congrats on your 3rd month with Pampered Chef! For July kitchen demos, I usually like to do 2 recipes - one that is a popular customer favorite and one that showcases a new or seasonal product. This way, you can appeal to both returning customers and potential new ones. Of course, it also depends on the length of your demo and your personal preference. Some consultants like to do one longer recipe, while others prefer to do two shorter ones. It's all about finding what works best for you and your audience. Happy cooking!
