Hi, I officially had my own show as my "first" show but my first show outside of my house is this coming Sat. I made the rustic focaccia alot so I know what I'm doing.. but my friend who's party it is has had the focaccia at my party. When cutting it I cut it like a regular pizza. I'm not sure yet how many are coming to her show, so I was wondering if I should just make another recipe? Something that has an individual serving like the artichoke chicken salad or something like that.. its an afternoon show. I guess I just need opinions on which you think is a great recipe to make.

dont I sound confused? lol
Thank you!
 
If you have the Springform pan, you can make a cake a day in advance & bring it with you. When you explain how easy it was & that they are No Bake;) & EVERY1 loves dessert!! Whenever I bring this, I sell alot of pans & at 30.00 a pop your sales add up:D Just make sure you have copies of the recipe, cuz everyones gonna want it. My favorie recipe is Banana Cream Supreme. Good Luck & let me know if you need any other ideas:rolleyes: Ginger

Thank you but...I dont have the springform pan :( I do have the rice cooker plus so I'm going to make the lava cake.. I hope it comes out ok. Anyone know how long you leave it after it comes out of the microwave? last time I made it, I took it out and left it for about 3-5 min and then i flipped it and :( it broke.

I'll have to practice with it.

Thanks again Ginger! Any other ideas?
 
I have not used my cooker to make a cake yet, although the Chocolate Hazelnut looks REALLY good & easy (the one thats in the Cucina Italiana Desserts, also the S/S Seasons Best) I have a super duper easy thing, but you would need the mini baker or something that size. I'll keep thinking & get back to you on this!;) Ginger

its ok!No Ginger you arent confusing me.. its me.. my brain is dead today! lol So its one of the stones.. ok I have a bunch of stones so if you'd like to give me your idea, i can adapt it to my size stone. I have new traditions, rectangular and round baker.. and I just got the oval baker in my kit.. but thats really small.
 
You would use the round baker...its called Bacon & Cheddar Bubble Bread, but I revised the recipe. I use 1/2 lb. cooked bacon, 1C (4oz) finely shredded cheddar cheese & 1 package refrigerated dinner rolls. I usually have the bacon already cooked & most of it already cut/chopped up. In the batter bowl, mix the bacon & cheddar. Take the dinner rolls ( it should be 8 to the package) cut them in fours & mix all of them with the bacon & cheddar mixture. Put this in a lightly greased round baker for 20-22 minutes at 375`F. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. Run knife around edge of bread to loosen. Carefully lift bread onto serving plate. To serve, pull apart or slice into wedges. LOL...actually the first time I did this I started getting nervous about something else so I made light of this took all the cut up pieces of rolls put them all in the batter bowl at 1 time, put the cover on it shook it up like I was mixing a martini (Got everyones attention) ;) Put it in the baker & when it was ready, they wouldnt even let it cool down!!!:D :D :D

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of recipe should I choose for my first show?

For your first show, consider selecting a recipe that is simple yet impressive. Dishes that can be prepared in under 30 minutes and require minimal ingredients are ideal. Popular choices include a quick pasta dish, a fresh salad, or a delicious dessert that showcases your Pampered Chef tools.

Should I focus on savory or sweet recipes?

It often depends on your audience and the time of day. If your show is in the evening, a savory dish might be more appropriate, while a morning or afternoon show could benefit from a sweet treat. Offering a balance of both types can also be a great way to cater to different tastes.

How many recipes should I prepare for my first show?

For your first show, it's best to stick to one main recipe and perhaps a simple appetizer or dessert. This allows you to focus on demonstrating the cooking process and engaging with your guests without feeling overwhelmed.

Can I prepare the recipe in advance?

Yes, preparing some elements of the recipe in advance can help streamline your show. For example, you can chop vegetables or pre-measure ingredients. Just be sure to leave enough steps to demonstrate the use of your Pampered Chef tools and keep the audience engaged.

What if I have dietary restrictions to consider?

It's important to consider any dietary restrictions your guests may have. You can choose a recipe that is easily adaptable, such as a stir-fry where guests can customize their ingredients. Additionally, offering a gluten-free or vegetarian option can ensure everyone feels included.
