Does David cook any more? It is just one gadget after another.

I've never known it to be a cooking show. It's always been kitchen items that QVC is selling. He has his recipie blog but as far as him preparing a dish and cooking on air, it's not what the show is about.

No,in the early days when he took over for Bob he cooked a lot. As did Bob.

Personally, I don't think David can cook. I didn't see him when he first took over. Anyway, at this point with the Internet and other places to shop, QVC has to use the TV time to sell, not cook.

Yes, double tap each color, put food in his mouth, and do the happy dance.

Years ago Bob B. and Bob Warden did quite a bit of cooking on QVC. Now HSN does more cooking demos than QVC does. David should just show a finished product and tell viewers where to get the recipe. The demos are just him stirring a couple of items together. I also wish they wouldn't spend so much time greeting/kissing vendors, telling us there are 300 left and red will be the first to go, and reviewing the colors multiple times--to excess. I would like to see new and interesting products instead of the same items over and over again. I would rather see prepared food items shown on the gourmet food shows.

I can guarantee you if I were a vendor on his show, there would be a "no kissing" clause in my contract!

I had to laugh at your post. I too noticed the double tap.

When Bob Bowersox was let go and David took over the show David would disappear for periods of time. On a few occasions he would mention how he had learned things in the cooking classes QVC was sending him to. Can he cook? Probably, but he doesn't cook on his own show for a reason. Overall it says that QVC is a shopping channel and his show is not a cooking show.

This is a SHOPPING channel not the food network. If you want to see cooking you should go there. QVC is here to SELL items and make money only. QVC is just a big department store. When you go to Macys do you expect them to be demoing the items?

Years ago when they did more cooking on QVC it was more enjoyable and a better way to show the products. I miss that. I think it helped to make sales too. Imagine now if they showed the air fryer, but never showed any food in it. I know I wouldn't have bought one.
