Plus how many do you usually do ? I flip flop between 1 and 2.

I usually do one but occasionally I will do a second easy, quick one - if the host has done shows before she often expects two - or if she is expecting a lot of people and she's nervous about having enough.

I don't choose particular recipes but I am suggesting recipes that show cookware so the host MUST HAVE that piece. OR something that shows the stones on sale in October. I love that new one PC just put up with the ribs - SHOWS BOTH!! How nice that it came out this month! :cool:

I choose one recipe per month for the host to get the ingredients. Sometimes I will bring the ingredients for a smaller demo like pull apart bread. This month I'm making Thai Chicken Stir Fry Salad. October is Tangy Pepper Pecan Brie with the Cran Raz fizz, November is one of the Chocolate Bliss recipes (not sure which one yet) and December is the Cookie Show - bar pan cookies with the same base and three different toppings.

This month to demo the cookware, I'm offering the Chicken & Asparagus Risotto or the Skillet Lasagna. Then I make the Double Chocolate Mocha Trifle as well.

Not sure what I'm doing for October yet... need to get more shows booked first but I'm leaning toward the 30-minute chicken.

If the host chooses a recipe that doesn't show cookware then I have been doing the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake as a second recipe, because it shows how versatile our cookware is.

I'm making Jerk Chicken Nachos next week and I haven't made them yet. Is it something that I should really practice at home first or is it basic enough to make it at the show for the first time?

I've made that twice at shows (no practice). It is VERY easy. Be sure to just use a single layer of chips so that all of the chips have topping.

Beginning this month, I'm asking my Hosts to choose two recipes from the current Season's Best. I usually try to keep one VERY simple or already have it almost completed.

I only do 1 recipe, but as an incentive, if they get 15 "yes" responses I bring my newest favorite (and becoming famous) "Symphony Brownies) that I have laid out in a pretty "V-like" arrangement on the cranbury rectangular SA in the basket.

Recipe is: Make brownie mix, pour half in square baker. Place 2 Symphony bars side by side on top (they are milk chocolate, toffee and almonds) then the rest of the mix. Cook 5 extra minutes. This should be COMPLETELY cooled (7+ hours - best to do the night before or place in refrigerator). It makes a "layered" look and is to die for! Couldn't be easier and brownies mixes go on sale alot. :)

I did the Jerk Chicken Nachos last show w/o having made them. I wasn't able to taste them b/f they vanished in minutes! :) I'm offering the nachos, the brie or a chocolate dessert. I'm bringing the julianne peeler with a zucchini, carrot and yellow squash, and the basil oil to do and cook in the skillet pan (though didn't get to do it last time) - - it adds $20 to your orders! Everyone wants the jullianne peeler after they see it in action!

So you julienne the veggies and saute them in the pan w/the oil?

Oh the Symphony Brownies sound devine! Thanks for sharing! I'm getting the ingredients today. I love that you use it as an attendance incentive.
Thanks for sharing.
