Cooking with Meredith

bamasec — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 06:37:16 GMT

I have to admit I am NOT a cook, but found myself watching Meredith Laurence over and over during the program break. I really like her so much better just teaching the skills and hints of cooking by herself. She seems to love to teach and I found her very entertaining and soothing to watch. IMO when she is with David she seems to be kind of stand offish, but by herself she seems to be more comfortable alone, just a thought while I was watching her.

And yes, it seems I saw the parade way to many times!!

Did anybody watch Meredith?

Yes, I love her both while with David and during the program break. Last night, I turned to the Q when we went to bed. I was wishing I could just stay up and watcher her cook....but had to go to sleep to get ready for today. Told hubby I wished I could just watch her cook all night. Something about her relaxes me, maybe her voice....not sure.

I agree. She did a marvelous job. She was so natural and relaxed. I really enjoyed watching her. Even my husband sat down to watch and commented that she was a great teacher. I'd love to see more of her in this capacity. Way go, Meredith!

I hope they do this with Meredith again, I really liked watching her, too. Too bad they didn't do something similar with the beauty channel. That just had four products aired over and over, very blah. The four were a hair curling device, eyeliner, mascara, and eye serum. If they couldn't do makeup tips, like the cooking tips from Meredith, at least they could have replayed other shows recently recorded.

They must have sold Meredith's cooking tape to the highest bidders because they played it most of the day on our local CBS station. Good for her; it gives her more exposure.

I watched her on and off and boy do I miss cooking...I was a good cook. (I have no idea what that young, silly host and DB were doing cooking.....was an odd segment, imo.)

I've never enjoyed watching her on as a vendor or as a host, but she was fantastic in these videos. It certainly is her forte. I'd rather see her on FOOD NETWORK with a show of just her than on QVC.

I would think they would be really interested in her. To me she belongs there or on PBS not on QVC. I actually liked her like I like Sara Moulton.

doodles, I wish they would change her to " In THe Kitchen With Meredith". He acts very board lately. He doesn't know what to do with himself when he isn't doing all the talking. And this constant interruption about how may sold in this show, and "Again We have so many in this color to go around" It get so boring!! Snore!! We just need newness of a different host.

Yes...enjoyed watching her & getting her tips. A cookbook of her basics would be terrific. Is there one offered anywhere?

She had a show on QVC called "Blue Jean Chef". Maybe it disappeared because she didn't "SELL" enough. Too bad because she really is a delightful, skillful chef.

IMO Meredith is great at doing a cooking show by herself (watched the holiday segments) and as a rep. I don't think she was that comfortable being a host. Maybe Food Network may like her cooking segments.

Agree, Meredith was a natural and showed some awesome tip , tricks. Thanks Q!

Why doesn’t food Network show actual cooking anymore? I miss it-

I too, loved watching Meredith cook, It made my Xmas a lot more entertaining. The parade was fine, but they kept jumping from one group to another. I have all of Merediths books, but what a great idea having her give cooking lessons instead of playing music all day. Lets have an hour of Meredith sans David, I'd watch that. If I bought a mixer last year, I'm not inclined to buy another, and most people can see what colors they come in. And I don't care for 20 times how many are left. I have a feeling the QVC gods don't watch the shows or they'd stop some of the childishness.Please stop the happy dance and eye roll. My mute button is wearing out on the cooking shows.

Yes! I enjoyed watching her and I don’t even cook! She needs her own cooking show on one of the food channels. She’s a joy to watch. Very natural on TV, which is hard to do. Great communicator.

I caught a few of Merdith's cooking segments and all I could think was "she needs a spot on Food Network". She reminded me of Ina Garten or Martha Stewart w/the soft voices. Those three prove you don't need to be yelled at to get your point across. Do not like being shouted at!

Harpa — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 13:52:57 GMT

Me, too! I was catching her in between watching the Eagles game!

It was great that she wasn't encumbered trying to sell you any particular pan or spurtle or something!
