Meredith, the BLUE JEAN CHEF, Cooking Demonstrations Again!

Caaareful Shopper — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 11:33:15 GMT

Exclusively on QVC's streaming channel are some videos of Meredith Laurence giving fabulous cooking demonstrations! It's similar to the videos she used to do a few years ago when QVC showed them on Christmas Day.

In one of them, she's making chicken sandwich pockets from scratch, of course, while highlighting some of her own products. I loved watching this because there's only a slight mention of her kitchen tools. There's no pricing or selling. The streaming video does have a QR code you can use to go directly to QVC's website if you want to shop on your phone or tablet for her items. There are also a few product item numbers on the preview screen of the video.

The other Blue Jean Chef videos:

Smash Burgers
Easy Glazed Pork Chops
Knives 101 -- She's actually not cooking in this video, but giving a tutorial on specific knives to use on different food.

Meredith is such a pleasure to watch!

Doesnt Meredith also stream on facebook? I think she does or did at one time.

I think she used to have cooking videos soon after she left QVC.

But now on her FB page are lots of posts of dishes she has cooked, and a link from FB to her own website for the recipe. Her website has lots of photos and text for instructions. It's a wonderful repertoire of her recipes and cooking techniques -- but no videos.

I like sitting back and getting used to the recipe as she is actually cooking it in a video.

Love watching Meredith. My only issue isn't her fault - every time I watch I end up trying to rearrange my condo kitchen cabinets because I want lots more pots, pans, knives, serving pieces even as I know for me that;s ridiculous. Having them wouldn't mean I'd actually use them.

Yes, in addition to posting recipes on her page every day, Meredith often hosts live cooking shows/classes on Facebook! She's such a joy to watch. Her last class was actually quite interesting—she provided demonstrations of three recipes and tips for using the electric reversible grill/griddle she recently brought to QVC:

I don't do a lot on Facebook, but it's always nice to take a break and scroll through all the delicious things she shares. She also has an e-newsletter that shares similar content, and I sometimes "save up" the messages so I can enjoy an hour or two of exploring new recipes and ideas when I have free time.

@homedecor1 lol I don't live with enough space to buy lots of kitchen items, but years ago when LisaR and Joel did all the pearl shows, I bought way more pearls than I ever sensibly should have. We won't talk about how many I've worn fewer than one or two times.

I've seen the comment many times that we wear 30% of our wardrobe 80% of the time. I think that true of lots of things we buy - they don't get used much at all, but we still like having them. I am pretty much saved from overbuying nowadays because I've downsized from a snowbird life where I lived in a 3 bedroom house with full basement and attic + my condo. Now only the condo.

One of the "presents" I gave myself when I turned 80 was a promise to myself not to buy anything unless I knew where I had space to display it or store it easily.
