Keeping it simple (running these for the next 6 months) They can pick one:
15 minute Fajitas w/ pineapple salsa (from seasons best last spring/summer)
OR
Three Cheese Garden Pizza
(both of these show of at least $300 in product-that's how I pick a recipe by the ease of it and how much in product value it will show)I also bring complimentary :a chicken in the deep covered baker and half a block of cream cheese which I splash a bit of rasp. halepano sauce over and serve w/ crackers as guests are arriving. I have sold over 25 bottles of sauce since doing this!

Hahahahahaha.
I try to discourage hosts from doing a dessert demo -- I tell them it usually results in lower sales (less FREE stuff for them ) and less bookings. If they really want a dessert, I'll tell them I'll do a trifle and premake it, so we can serve dessert, but that I'd rather demo something else.

Are there any quick recipes I can demonstrate at my shows?

Consider demonstrating a 30-minute meal, such as a stir-fry or a pasta dish, that can be prepared using Pampered Chef tools like the Quick Cooker or the Food Chopper. This will show how easy and efficient cooking can be with the right tools.
