Hi!

I'm Kristin and I'm a new consultant and member of Chef Success! I have my first show on Thursday and I am extremely nervous about what I'm going to say during my demo and during any questions. This site has helped ease my mind a bit, though, so I thank you all for that! My sister-in-law is the host of the show and she said that she's going to buy 10 bottles of wine to get her guests drunk so they'll buy a lot...:)

So about me, I'm a paralegal by day. I live with my boyfriend (who is loving that I've become a consultant as he gets to eat all of the delicious recipes that I've been practicing!).
 
Welcome to PC and Chef Success. You definately made the right choice for your business by joining this site. If you have questions that you can not answer it is ok to tell them that you are new at this and you are not sure what the answer to their question is but you will find out for them. People like honesty and if you tell them that you don't know but you will find out then they know that you are not just feeding them a line. Just make sure then that you do find out and get back to them with an answer ASAP.

Also I think that it is funny that your boyfriend likes that you are a consultant so that he can taste all of the food. I live with my mom and sister and they are the same way.
 
Welcome Kristin! What part of MA are you from? I moved from my hometown, Lee, MA (Berkshire County, Western MA) a year ago in May. Now I am near Greensboro, NC.

Good Luck with your new business!!!
