Why on earth does this woman NOT have a cooking show of her own. I happened to watch a few of her "Basics" shows and was very impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. She'd be a breath of fresh air on QVC and Food Network. I hope many of you feel the same!!!

I think she is a lovely person and seems to know her products, but actually, I don't think she has the personality to be a show host. There's nothing wrong with that, but I just don't think that would be a good fit for her althoughh she does a great job as a vendor.

She's kind of quiet and laid back. Dynamic personality and charisma are just as important as skill and knowledge. Perhaps she prefers to let someone else do the emoting and happy dances.

She did have a show at one point, The Blue Jean Chef. I think it was one like one hour a week or maybe two at the most.

She did have some kind of spot, maybe not an entire show, but remember she had a segment called "The Blue Jean Chef" or something like that? I barely remember what it was like or any details, but I remember the title.

I suppose it didn't attract that many viewers because I think it was short-lived.

I agree she's very pleasant and seems skilled....I enjoy her when she's on.

I remember her having her own show, too. It was on Thursday nights, wasn't it? It only lasted a month or so.

I like Meredith. She explains things well. I remember the blue jean chef show name, but none of the details. I would guess that it didn't work out.

I remember The Blue Jean Chef show...and, yes, it was very short lived..I think...as one other poster said....she is too quiet and laid back to carry an entire show....alone...she needs an upbeat person..like David to help keep peoples interest...

She is very nice...and sure knows her way around a kitchen...

I enjoy watching her presentations. She explains exactly what she is doing and has a pleasing voice.

She had said she had cooking classes in her kitchen a while back. I always thought that would be something fun to do - I like her, kinda laid back. And, her recipes she cooked up were pretty basic - not complicated and not fussy. Just some good food, good wine, and blue jeans - works for me!!!

On Christmas (I think it was Christmas) they were showing pre recored segments and quite a few were Meredith teaching cooking ...GREAT SHOWS! I thoroughly enjoyed them

She took us step by step with tehcniques and recipes..very valuable and hope you all might get a chance to see them..I was very pleasantly surprised at this unexpected bit of programming...

I, for one, feel there is a place for her laid back, style...Not every is, or needs to be, a "screaming extrovert" - I love her calm credibility...however, I love the extroverts too!!1

A big shout out for Meredith's Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe!

I have made them twice now. They are no roll....so EASY and SO delicious!

She used to have a line of products with the Blue Jean Chef name that I miss. She had the best spatulas and cutting boards I have ever purchased.

I enjoy following her on Twitter and her photos of her food and animals are wonderful.

Just received Meredith's new cook book "Air Fry Everything." Felt like a little kid at Christmas. I have two of Meredith's pressure cooker cook books. I can't wait to get started on her air fryer recipes. She is a real treasure and a huge asset to QVC.

I watched a QVC program with you and you showed a set of tiny pot holders, I was wondering if there was a way I could purchase a couple pair of them, one for myself and one for my sister. We purchased the little rice maker, it is fun to use, but really hard to get the insert out without burning our fingers, and I would love those little silicone pot picker uppers, for lack of a better name for them. You only use 2 fingers in them and they are great.

Please let me know how to purchase them, or PLEASE bring them back so others can enjoy them also.

Thank you, your devoted fan,

Those were from her Basics series on YouTube. Always very entertaining and informative. I like how that series is a very low key "sell". If you are interested in the recipe click here, if you are interested in the tools used click here. However I am always watching on Roku so I can't click anywhere!

@coffee drinker We enjoyed her segments during the Christmas break as well. I sent her a note on her FB page telling her how much we enjoyed them and she should have her own show on FN. The programming on that network has gone downhill in recent years.

I could not agree more regarding FN programming going downhill. I wonder why they have a show like The Next Food Network Star and never seem to feature the winner with their own show. Wasn'the that the reason for the show. They seem to feature well known "stars". I don'the care about "The Worse Cooks", etc. And how many more DD&Dives can Guy Fieri visit? Thanks for letting me vent.
