So from my results of vendor event last night, one of my potential bookings she was asking about a midday type show. I told her I could do it with enough notice to work my day job schedule around it. But what type of recipes or theme would I do? She was asking for this type of show because most of her group was part time or worked from home enough with enough notice would be better because everyones kids has sports events going on all the time and this was her way around it. I like the idea but want to know how to work it. Any insight would be great. We haven't booked a date yet so no rush just trying to get a jump start on it. THanks
 
I have done a coffee and cake show, but it doesn't really highlight very much.

Typically I treat my afternoon shows the same as any other. I do a pork tenderloin or a fajita show. The 1st one I did was a 1600 show, and the last I recently did earlier this month was a little over $1000 show. ;)

Good luck!
 
My suggestion would be to make the 30 minute chicken! It is inexpensive and very impressive. Shows the Deep Covered Baker! You could even do rice or a Lava Cake in the Rice Cooker. Still inexpensive. Good luck!
 
I love this type of show...its laid back and less formal than an evening show. I don't think I would do a "meal" recipe. I would be more inclined to do a cake or cobbler in the dcb or ddb. We used to have an apple crisp recipe that was yummy...if I'm remembering right you used the apcs, ddb, utility knife, cutting board, measuring cups/spoons. If you have an oven, you can do the cherry cheese coffee cake on the round stone...its yummy.
 
Hi there! It's great to hear about your potential booking for a midday show. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase some delicious and easy recipes that are perfect for busy individuals and families. One theme that comes to mind is "Quick and Easy Meals for Busy Days". You can share recipes for one-pot meals, slow cooker dishes, and other time-saving options that can be easily prepared during the day. Another idea is to focus on "Healthy and Portable Snacks for On-the-Go". This theme would be perfect for those who are always on the move and need healthy options to fuel their busy days. You can also offer tips on meal prepping and how to save time in the kitchen. I hope these suggestions help and I wish you all the best with your midday show. Happy cooking!
