My show is tomorrow afternoon, and I have not yet decided on a recipe!! :eek: :eek:

I'm debating between:
- Sun-dried tomato pesto brie
- Jerk chicken nachos
- Mini pesto pizzas

I know that I will make the garlic bread in my 8" Executive sauté pan (since it's the only cookware piece I own.....soon to change!! :D )

What do you guys recommend? Did any of you try these recipes??

Thanks! :)
 
The Jerk Chicken Nachos are delicious. I haven't tried the others. Although I did have the pepper-pecan brie, and that's really good.
 
My vote is for the Mini Pesto Pizzas - those were gobbled up at my Fall Preview.
They were simple, and used alot of products.

But I know alot of people like the Jerk Nachos.........I don't care for the Jerk Seasoning. I've really tried to like it, but I just can't - it tastes funny to me no matter what recipe I use it in.

Thanks Ladies for your input. I have decided to make the mini pesto pizzas. We'll see what happens!! :)
 
I love the Jerk Chicken Nachos, too - made them for a summer party I was invited to and they got gobbled up in 2 seconds. I haven't tried the mini pesto pizzas yet, though, so I'll have to try those!! Best of luck with your show - let us know how it goes! :)

So, I had my show and I made the mini pesto pizzas and they were a hit!! They were really tasty and everyone loved them!

Also very happy that I sold a sauté pan, all because I made the garlic bread in the oven with the pan!!
 
Congrats on the show and everyone loving the recipe.
 
I have made both Jerk Chick, and Mini Pesto and they are both very good. I like the Nachos the best.One person in my cluster recommended using the 3O minute Chicken recipe in the covered baker, then make the nachos from that. That way you are demoing the baker too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of recipe should I choose for my Pampered Chef show?

When selecting a recipe for your show, consider choosing something that showcases Pampered Chef tools effectively. Dishes that are visually appealing, easy to prepare, and can be made in under an hour are ideal. Think about appetizers, quick meals, or desserts that can be demonstrated live.

Should I focus on a specific dietary preference for my recipe?

Yes, it can be helpful to consider dietary preferences or restrictions of your audience. Offering a gluten-free, vegetarian, or low-calorie option can attract more attendees and make your show more inclusive. Just be sure to communicate the recipe details in advance.

How can I make my recipe interactive for guests?

To make your recipe interactive, involve your guests in the cooking process. You can ask for volunteers to help with simple tasks, such as chopping ingredients or mixing. Additionally, encourage questions and discussions about the recipe and the tools you are using throughout the demonstration.

What are some quick and easy recipes that impress?

Some quick and easy recipes that tend to impress include a classic bruschetta, a one-pan chicken and vegetable dish, or a no-bake dessert like chocolate mousse. These recipes are not only simple but also allow you to showcase various Pampered Chef products effectively.

How can I ensure my recipe fits within the time limit of the show?

To ensure your recipe fits within the time limit, practice making it beforehand and time yourself. Choose recipes that can be partially prepped in advance or that have components that can be made ahead of time. This way, you can focus on the demonstration and engage with your guests without feeling rushed.
