New Consultant-5 Minute Presentation Opportunity

[ingrid]

Hi! I just signed on last week and I've been struggling with getting over my fear of asking people to host. I was pretty excited to find out that an assignment in one of my classes is to come up with a five minute directional speech. It can be teaching people to do ANYTHING not involving guns and alchohol (which just tossed my initial ideas out the window.........kidding) and I thought it would be a great opportunity to demonstrate making a snack or meal with Pampered Chef!

The only problem I'm running into is that I'm not really familiar with a lot of the recipes yet and I'm looking for a simple one that wouldn't require an oven, yet it would showcase the product to a group of 20 people. I thought about making sealed sandwiches, using the apple slicer and using the Ultimate Mandoline to chop up fruits and veggies, but I know I can do better than that!

Do any of you have some ideas? This is a really neat opportunity and couldn't have come at a better time! I just want to make the most of it. Thanks in advance for any advice you may have!

My sister did a speech like this in one of her classes and made the Taffy Apple Pizza. She just prebaked the crust, then talked about apples and put it all together. It was a long time ago, but I remember her saying that it went over well.

Really? I'll have to look up the recipe, sounds delicious! Thanks for the quick response!

I'm all about the trifle bowl. Maybe a speech about using that might be quick and easy.

LOVE the trifle bowl! It will be one of the first things I purchase with my PC Bucks! Until then, I'm pretty much restricted to working with what came in my kit. The only other PC stuff I own are the bamboo utensils, the apple corer/slicer, the sandwich press (i think that's what it's called?) and a spatula, LOL!

Sorry I forgot to mention what I have to work with in my first post!

You can also prebake the crust and have the ingred. prepared and assemble.

If you can borrow a mini-muffin pan and the Easy Accent Decorator from someone in your cluster ... you can make a batch of brownie cups at home & bring them to class. Then do a presentation of putting little "stars" of peanut butter on the top with the EAD. Those are very appealing to the eye and I always have a big response to them.

If the teacher allows, you can even let a volunteer come up & try their hand at using the EAD. You might get extra points for an interactive lesson.

Thanks to everyone who replied! I'll start taking a look at these recipes and figuring out which one will get the most "Wow" reaction from class.


Thanks again!
