yet another dumb question from me.... does it HAVE to be a pc recipe that we demo or can it be anything as long as we use our products? I'm new so i'm still trying to learn as much as possible here!! any help? thanks!!
 
There is no rule saying you must use a PC recipe, but there really is no good reason not to. Our recipes tell you exactly which product to use, so it makes it easier for you to do the demo. Also, if you use a recipe from one of the current cookbooks you are selling another product, the cookbook. Try pretty hard to stick to the current Season's Best or one of our cookbooks. I sell a lot of cookbooks this way.

PC has a recipe for just about anything.

Good luck
 
Remember, you are there to show the tools via the recipe. You want the customers to get so excited about how easy, fun and fast the yummy recipe is that they will purchase the products you showed.
 
Again, no such thing as a dumb question.As you spend time here, you'll probably notice that we share a lot of recipes. Lots of those are PC. Many aren't. For instance, the vast majority of trifle recipes aren't PC. I use mostly PC recipes, but I don't feel like I have to use them.
 
I show the host a list of recipes from PC that I have or will do at their show and then I will ask if they have a family or a personal recipe that everyone around likes her to make, then I ask to see the recipe and if I notice that it would use alot of the PC products, I would suggest we together make this recipe, now this has only happen twice in my two years but you may never know. It just makes the host feel extra special and she wants to invite even people because she is sharing her favorite recipe.
