I have a host that is impossible to get ahold of. I guess she figures she's the only one busy in this relationship. :grumpy: I had sent her the menu for tomorrow night's show on Saturday afternoon via email. I had spoken to her and did some coaching, talked her through a few things and...

Does anyone know if the item on the replacement parts order form listed as Food Holder for the Ultimate Mandolin is the entire piece or just the round piece with the prongs? I have a customer who has lost the entire piece and needs a replacement but I don't want to offer that to her if it is...

Anyone know if you can bake Angel Food Cake in the Stoneware Fluted Pan? I thought you could - but my customer wanted to know for sure....

Hello Chefs, I'm in need of some recipes that I can make ahead of time that do not need to be heated or cooled. We're having bachelorette party for one of my friends and will have a brief stop at our hotel room with snacks/sandwhiches and I'm in charge of the menu. I could potentially take a...

I have a past host who works with my mom. She just e-mailed me this question: Do you have any recommendations for something to puree veggies, chicken, etc (small portions) for baby? It does not need to be Pampered Chef. Kathy figured you'd have an idea of what to recommend. The only food...

My dad has alzheimer's. He also has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, is obese and many other health issues that cause him to take 22 pills each day. As of yesterday, he is a confirmed diabetic as well. The issue? What should he eat? He needs low calorie, low carb, low sugar, low...

*I was doing some background research on who Tammy Stanley is- since she's the guest speaker at the NC Workshop. While looking at some of her products, I saw this and thought it was very eye-opening. In fact, I think I need to print it and put it on my wall above my desk!!*-------(from her...

So is there no shipping? I'm fulfilling an order for a customer and it appears there is no cost to ship the $7.50 Food Chopper collar to her - the total is like 8.25 or something with tax. Right??!

I'll be doing my first bridal shower on May 2nd. The mother of the bride is the planner of the shower, as it won't just be a Pampered Chef shower. She wants me to demo a dessert recipe- and have enough for 65 people to taste it! There will already be a cake and brownies there. Any ideas...

Need any suggestions..... I have a wedding shower in May. The mother is hosting this for her daughter and is also having a friend do tastefully simple alon with PC. The guest list is already at 47! I am super excited, and I meet with the Mother tomorrow to discuss the shower. I would like...

One of my guests has an older food chopper, she said she was using it the other night and the top came off, is there a way to get a new top for the food chopper? Like a website or something like that? It is older then the one I got in my kit 5 yrs ago so she has had it for awhile. She didnt seem...

So I was trying in vain to chop some fresh parsley with one of my knives. The leaves were flipping all over- couldn't keep them in a nice pile to save my soul (Basil is easier!). So I thought...wonder how the Food Chopper would do? Darn if it didn't do a fantastic job in just a few...

HELP! I have a big show tomorrow and my host wants to do the fancy stuff with food like cut radishes into roses. I know there is more than just that. Can anyone please share. Thanks Oh and I need instructions too, please. I don't know how to do any of them.

A lady has a food chopper that is about 10 years old and the clear plastic piece broke and she is wondering if there is a way to get a new plastic piece. My question is would the one on the chopper now fit the chopper she has??

I know this had been posted about before, but I'm rediscovering it, and was excited to see they have more options, including an "Allergen Free Box" for those peanut, gluten and other allergies. So, here's the email I sent out to my buddies in ABQ, and wanted to share it here as well...

I have been going fast and furious with cooking shows lately. When I'm doing a show, I love to demo the food chopper for chopping onions. I find that everyone can relate to the terrible task...lol Now of course I always wash my tools (by hand) before I leave the show. Many times I just leave...

I have been asked twice in the past week if there is a replacement part or sharpener for the food chopper blades. Is there? I looked on the replacement parts list and did not see one, but apparently they have sold a sharpener in the past (or so I've been told).

Last night we had our twice a year Food Fest- where everyone brings a new recipe. My personal tasting reviews- Chicken Penne Al Fresco- ok- not real memorable with all the other dishes there Mexican Chicken Lasagna- Very good, a fav of some California Club Pizza- Good- the maker said was...

SO, um, it turns out that I am the Food Bank Coordinator for 2009 in my area. I think I missed the announcement or email? Anyhoo, have any of you lovely ladies ever done this before. Tips, suggestions etc. Honestly I had wanted to do this for awhile and my D told me she was the coordinator...

Our shipping is taxed here in Ontario. I just entered an order with direct shipping for 3 spices (which aren't taxed - no tax on food, only GST on cookbooks) and nothing else and there was no tax charged. The shipping was $2.50 more but the shipping wasn't taxed. Any idea why that would be...

I am trying to find my copy of the Angel Food Skillet Cake that was in a Season's Best a few years ago, and it seems to have gone missing. It was encrusted with almonds and had a triple berry topping...SO GOOD. If you have it, can you please post... TIA!

Has anyone read these books?? I am in the middle of the third book. I have been invited to a Twilight party next Saturday. My friend having the party is so into these books. She is having quizes, making everyone tee shirts and getting the cd soundtrack to listen too. She is also making food...

I have been trying to be the Food Bank Coordinator here for as long as I have known about it and was chosen for this year! I want to make the most of this opportunity. If you have been a coordinator, what have you done? What did you wish you did or didn't do? Anyone else have ideas? I'm...

Oh what a day! Our walk-in cooler at work broke down in the middle of the night. DH discovered it this morning and we can't get a part for it until the morning!! So all the food has to be tossed out:grumpy: We have insurance but still all that food to go in the rubbish and not to mention we are...

I thought that I heard somewhere that you can make angel food cake in the large bar pan...has anyone tried this? I would love some tips. I think someone said to line it with parchment paper but I wanted to check before I did it. Any tips would be super!! Thanks!!

I need some help, since it has been awhile since I have had kids in the house. We are hosting a Christmas Party for 7 kids, ranging in ages 2-12 and I do not have a clue as to food to serve. It is between 1 and 3, so I am not doing lunch, I would just like a few snacky items, but I do not have...

I was watching Food Network tonight when they had some great cookie tips. One was to roll out your cookie dough straight onto the cookie sheet so when you cut the cookie you remove the excess dough and don't have to worry about moving the cookies and stretching them out. They also suggested...
