What is food: Definition and 200 Discussions

I have an opportunity to do a Health Fair at the end of the month. The table fee is $95 (noon-4pm) which seems to be a bit high to me. I contacted the organizer and voiced my concern over the fee amount for an independent seller. She offered me the opportunity to supply 250 food samples in...

I've got a show next week for a repeat host .. Most of her guests have been to at least 6 of my shows within the last 2 years. She would like some type of finger food for a demo. Any thoughts on what to make to 'wow' this seasoned crowd?

I came across an older thread about a game called the Food Chopper feud. I have a show Monday night and the ladies are all eager to have a great night.

We are hosting a Poker game this weekend and DH wants non-messy food - all finger food. Help! I need ideas!!! PC or non-PC recipes please. We will have hot dogs and crackers/cheese. I suggested the mini-ham puffs, but since DH doesn't like those, he is shooting those down. (I still might...

I know I had recently seen a link someone posted on how to save $$ grocery shopping. I have a family of 6 and swear I would be rich if we did not eat. But being that is not possible, and let's face it we all love food, I have to do something to cut my bill. I do cut coupons. Mostly, I shop at...

I just received confirmation that I will be the 2010 Food Bank Coordinator for Pampered Chef/Feed America with my local food bank. I am excited and honored.

I was invited to join an Open House kind of last minute (it is this Sunday!) and I am looking for suggestions for food to prepare. It will be from 1 - 5pm. Someone suggested making food every hour on the hour...not sure how many will be attending, so trying to stick to something quick and...

Hi everyone! I'm attending a fundraiser that will be a trade show like event with some home based businesses there selling to raise money for a school. I'll have a table to display product, but there won't be a cooking show, so I'm trying to think of what to have that would demonstrate some...

OK so I am enjoying my new high speed internet and catching up on episodes of Good Eats. (I love Alton!) and between episodes is Tyler Lawrence talking about their new stoneware line! The one shown looks like our flat rectangle but has handles like the round. Hmmmm interesting!

[ How can I get the onion smell out of my food chopper lid and prep bowls!?! YUCK!:yuck: As soon as I take the lid off you can smell it!

Geesh, I just got my latest Kraft Food & Family last week. Along with it they send an invoice for $6.99/year and said this would be the last one I receive unless they hear from me! I like it, but not sure I'm willing to pay for it! It's not a lot of money, but it's the principal. They...

Once they are opened, they are to be refrigerated. How long do they safely keep in the refrigerator?

I have a vendor fair on Saturday (not too big) and my question is should I bother to have any sort of food? I have learned not to do too much as it never seems to make a difference so I don't want to kill myself to make something if no one thinks its worth it. Thanks!

I recently started working for a new company. I'm in a completely different enviroment as before I was able to work from home. Now Im 9-5 in an office with about 100 woman on 1 floor. Well, I've put out my catelogs and have had some interest but Wednesday we are having food day. So I thought...

I was just on Amazon and they have a deal on the Food Network Magazine. It said $5 off(so it should have been $10), but when I put it in my cart , it came up as $2.50! I decided that was a good enough deal to read it for a year. Just thought I would share.I don't know if this deal will work...

I'm new to the PC website, and I don't see the option to set up the comfort food e-vites that I see on the CC Theme Show page. Are the theme templates only available to premium subscribers? My next show is CC Potato Chowder and I'm trying to make the matching e-vites available to my host.

I had a guest ask about this at a show. I don't have one, but I have seen the commercials. Like our Food Chopper is opens for cleaning. The problem is that they are selling them at $19.95 (and including a "Graty" which is like our garlic slicer but is a cheese grater for free -- and I've seen tv...

I have my Fall Customer Appreciation Event tomorrow. My director and 4 other cluster-mates and I are all doing it together. We have over 50 people who have RSVP'd. We are now wondering if we're going to have enough food. :DWe are making double batches of everything, but so far we...

I worked the Natchez Food Fair this past weekend and was overwhelmed with the response. I counted 41 slips that were recruiting leads, 44 wanted to book a show, about 20 interested in fundraisers, and 15 bridal showers. I have over 50 that want email newsletters. I have over 200 that didn't...

Who do you like to watch on Food Network (or whatever network) to learn and improve your cooking skills and get great tips that you can share in your cooking shows? I used to be an avid Rachael Ray watcher- but the last few years- it's hard to find the time. I have a few videos I think I'll...

I had a great show tonight. My host had 16 guests...1 outside order...and I got 1 booking for September. She was at 701.00 when I left and already calling her guest who didn't show up and getting ready to get more outside orders from people she knew weren't coming. I had her call everyone...

My husband and I missed the last show. Who did they send home? I'm hoping it was Katie, the healthy-food nut. Serving raw food was a big no-no in my book.

Hello all, I've been away for a LONG time...so you'll have to direct me if I have in fact missed the thread. Is no one talking about this years Food Network Star on CS? If so, why not? Are we disenfranchised with the voting process? I'd love to chat about who we like and don't like...

I have to say I love my food chopper. However, I do find that there are certain things that this is absolutely NOT made for. Like for instance, goat cheese... it just gobbs up in there and gets stuck. I know that the blades dont seem to be very sharp, and according to other posts , there is...
