Hi, My name is Toni. I am just getting started. What are some good recipes to show that would accomodate the new consultant kit. (the bigger $150 dollar one).I want to use as many of the new items as possible of course!
 
Welcome to PC and CS. If I remember correctly the last two recipes in each section of the Season's Best cookbook are made with tools from the new consultant kit. You can also go to Consultant's Corner and look through previous Season's Best for more (last two in each section there as well).
 
Gread advice Jodi, there is alot to things to do with the starter kit. Go to files and look up the item such as the bar pan and it will have recipes if addtional items are needed just use what you got that is what i do. Welcome to family

Thanks Dina and Jodi. I am just nervous about cooking in front of people and showcasing the items. Wish me luck.
 
My biggest suggestion would be to USE the items, as many times as possible before your first show. You are going to fall in love with the products and will be able to tell your own experiences and people will hear the excitement in your voice. My first show, I sold a lot of the stoneware because I was so excited about the fact that I could bake crispy, non-burnt food! I had tried all kinds of things on my new pan and was thrilled with the results. The guests could hear it in my voice. They wanted a piece of that action! ;)

Now, I have the Deep Covered Baker (DCB) and I am excited to tell guests about all the exciting things they can do with that!

Teresa, you are making me excited to get my stuff shipped. I can't wait. Thanks for the suggestions!
 
It's like Christmas everytime something new comes or you get to try a new recipe! I hope you will have a great time with your new business. I am having a ball so far! I have to get through May and then the summer should be fun! I have a son graduating, so I have things to do before that. May is sort of slim for shows on my schedule, by choice. We have lots of concerts and senior banquet stuff going on.
 
What recipies? Any that chop or slice or grate a LOT - as an appetizer/main course, either Cool Veggie Ranch Pizza or any of the pizza recipes in Season's Best. As a dessert, Taffy Apple Pizza or Banana Split Dessert Pizza come to mind. Remember to do all the trainings available in the online training center, and practice using the tools and talking about them. Features tell, but benefits sell (Our forged cutlery knives are a fantastic bargain at full price, because you are getting all the engineering of German steel and the technology of a full-tang blade and the protection of a plastic cover for when your knife is not in use. What this means for you is a sharp knife all the time, and the metal holds that sharp edge longer - and you always have a safe place for your knife when it is not being used. Superior cutting with a great feel and intelligent storage - Pampered Chef is looking out for you in the kitchen! Well, we're also looking out for your pocket book because full price is available to everyone but for folks who invite a few friends to look at a catalog, or over for a fun simple cooking show like this, we offer you half-price and free items.) You'll probably run into price point (oh Pampered Chef is great, but is so expensive) to which you need to remind folks that while the catalog lists prices, you as a consultant are able to offer them two lower prices: half-price and free! Then you can explain the hosting benefits - and follow up with "so who's having the next show?"
 
The Strawberry Amaretto Puff Pastries is a great dessert and yummy, too.
 
I always like the THree cheese garden pizza.. But for summer.. you could maybe try it on the grill :)
 
I second the motion on the 3 cheese garden pizza. It's a classic and really shows the tools off well. I have a bar pan recipe collection that I got from here that I keep on my personal wesbite, I think its the best (and a thank you to whoever I "borrowed" it from LOL.)Click Here:
