Instructions

1. Decide on what you are going to demonstrate. You can show a technique, a certain recipe, or both.

2. Make a list of equipment that you will need for your demonstration. Your list should include everything, even the small things such as measuring spoons.

3. List the ingredients you will need for your cooking demonstration. You will want to record everything that you will need to purchase and that you have on hand.

4. Purchase and gather all the equipment and ingredients you will need. Purchase enough to be able to practice as well as the demo itself.

5. Practice your cooking demonstration. You may want to use notes or note cards. Practice the demo exactly as you will give it. This is where you can make changes and adjustments in your presentation.

6. Perform your cooking demonstration. Some find it hard to speak in public. Being prepared with notes and having practiced will help get over this fear.

7. Review you demonstration. This is helpful if you plan to do any more. Make notes on areas you can improve. Ask your students or audience if there is anything further they would like for you to cover.
