Planning a Pampered Chef Party During the Lunch Hour

[PamperedChefBB]

I need some ideas! I have a lady who wants to do a Pampered Chef Party during her lunch hour at her office. She thinks she will have 20 people who will come. There is no kitchen, so it will be in a meeting room. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What about having the food already done and do a "walk through the catalog" show?

Don't feel like you have to provide enough food for all of them to eat their full lunch with you.

You could do a salad or a dessert, and they could brown bag the rest?

I'd do a main dish salad (oooh---show the new bowl, how they can take the salad made and when the meal is done collapse it down to take it home...). they can brown bag their own extras. You won't have time for a demo, just have a few things out--the chopper, grater, etc. Don't forget a small Simple Additions display!

The new bowl is available to sell starting March 1st. If you do use the idea of a salad and have the salad chopper bring it or show it in the catalog. I have the salad chopper and love it! Great for chopping right into the bowl you are using!!!!!!!!!

What did your host say? I think the dessert idea is fabulous.

i think using the salad chopper do a demo of making salsa in one bowl and pass it around the room for each to try it. then put chips out for them to eat the salsa while looking through the catalog.

Excellent idea Allison! It is a great product and doesn't require too much of a clean up after which sometimes makes it a big seller! Just about everyone I have showed it to bought one. Not bad at $25 a shot!

I had a similar party I did at my office. I did a veggie pizza. I pre-baked a pizza crust in the large bar pan at home and then had the host bring in veggies like carrots, green peppers, broccolli and some shredded cheddar cheese. I used the chopper to chop these. Then dice some tomatoes. In batter bowl combine 1 packet ranch mix (would probably be good with dill mix too) and 1-2 packages softened cream cheese (depending on how much you like cream cheese) or you could use sour cream instead if you don't like cream cheese. Spread cream cheese mixture over pizza crust, add veggies and cheese and serve. It is such an easy and good recipe and showcases quite a few of the products. You could have most of the veggies cut up already so the demo wouldn't be so long or set up stations for each person to do different tasks.
Hope this helped!!

I saw another tip on here about keeping a set of the outdoor utensils in your desk drawer in case you forget yours at home or the fast food "cutlery" breaks. You could show how they all stay together!

Thanks! These are all great ideas. I will run them by my hostess and see what she says.

What kind of a dessert would be good? I am doing one of these at the end of the month and would love some ideas.
