Good Morning! Would some friendly cheffers mind sharing their format or outline for their Kitchen Show. I will be starting my business mid-late August and I am looking for tips or outline to follow at my first shows until I get a groove of my own going. Thank you very much for sharing!
 
Good luck!! I start my show by telling "my story." Next I talk about the cookware and the knives. I try to talk about the more expensive items in the very beginning of the show because you have their full attention. I find that as you're preparing their recipe they begin to chat about what you're doing and you can lose them a bit if they're a big crowd. During the show I talk about guest specials, what a great career choice this was for me and how it will fit into their lives. I try to sprinkle that throughout the show. At the end I tell them about the amazing hostess benefits and how they can get the pot and pans and maybe the knives at half price. I found that practicing for my family made things easier for me. You'll fall into your own during your first few shows. Good luck. I'm not an expert at any of this by any means, but if you need help with anything, please PM me. You will do great!!
 
I didn't make this but it did help me when I first started! Good Luck!:D
