I’m scheduled to be the Table Topics master at my Toastmasters club this evening. The theme for the meeting is “Recipes for Success.” Here are the questions that I am considering asking. Participants have 1-2 minutes to respond. I’d love to hear ideas for other questions I could ask.
- Sometimes families have specific recipes that are special or symbolic or sentimental. Please tell us about a recipe or dish or meal that is meaningful in your family.
- Describe a meal or dish that you’ve never cooked or eaten, but that you would like to cook and/or eat someday, and why you’re choosing it.
- What is your favorite “go to” ingredient that you like to add when cooking? When did you learn about it? Why do you use it?
- Tell us about a time when you were surprised about an ingredient in something you cooked or you ate. Why were you surprised and what did that ingredient do to the dish?
- Do you like to cook or hate to cook? Tell us about what led you to feel that way.
