[pchefjaime]

Ok so I have a show on Sunday.
We/host is making a pina colada drink
choclate toffe trifle will be made but leading up to dec host special
demo: Strawberry spinach salad all ingrdiants ready just spin and mix
and we need a main dish I am new so do not have any cookware will need to borrow if need to. I think something in the skillet would be great

Have you contacted your Director? Is he/she local or someone else in your cluster? I borrowed all the time from my director when I first started. It was the joke later when I told her that her 3-tier rack could stay on her table now, because I bought one. I'd loan you one, but I'm in Oregon. Good luck!!

Jaime, do you always have 3 recipes at your shows? That seems like a little much (in my opinion - feel free to disagree). I think the salad and dessert is plenty. If you really want a main dish, how about making some chicken in the CDB, and add it to the salad.

I totally agree with Ann...you are there to sell your products, not cater the party.

I don't think I would make three recipes. The salad should be fine.

 

[Smashie]

I only make one :blushing:

 

[chefheidi2003]

I agree that you don't need to be doing 3 recipes but if you are still going to then I would recommend either the 30 minute chicken in the DCB or the 10 minute pork in the DCB.

Three Recipes???? How long are your shows? I only do 2....Usually a main dish type recipe and a dessert.

 

[Carissidy]

I usually make just one recipe, sometimes two not often.... it's a lot of work to do three. If you can pull it off that awesome! Good Luck!

Something it can be hard to remember, especially when a new consultant, is that the food is simply a taste for the guests we are not caterers. The goal of the recipe is to show the great products.

I know all of you are like wow she must be nuts doing 3 dishes. I only do one but my friend wants to serve pampered chef recipes so peple can get a taste of what is in the cookbooks. So she is making everything except the main dish which I am doing at the show to present. The salad will already be ready to throw together I just demo the spinner then it is done.. So if that helps I would have to be nuts to do 3. I am lucky to get 1 sometimes I am so nervous I am going to make a fool out of myself when cooking. Hope that helps. I do not have the cdb either. ANy ideas will be welcome

Ah, well that puts a different perspective on things. The 30 minute chicken in the DCB is great. Everyone has been raving about the skillet lasagna (new 29 minute cookbook) and the Asian Pork and Noodle Skillet (on CC/consultants corner under season's best). If you can borrow a skillet I would do one of those as showcasing the pans during pan-o-rama is a great idea.
