It looks like the Cooks Essentials line is quite limited on inventory.  I guess they are converting the house brand name to Prepology.  I think when that line first came out it was primarily small kitchen tools but now the line has expanded into kitchen electrics etc.  I really enjoyed Cara DiFalco.

I liked Blue Jean chef Meredith Laurence a lot.  She had a cooking teaching quality about her and had experience in some notable restaurants.

 

The QVC proprietary cookware line has changed names a few times such as Technics to Cooks Essentials.  Can't remember if the vendor rep changed during this transition i.e. from Bob Warden to Meredith.

 

They've had 3 Cook's Essentials reps since Meredith left, looks like they're struggling with an identity this time.

Years ago, I bought a Cook's Essentials Pot-Belly Cookware set in the shiny stainless....absolutely loved it...had it for 'years' until the non-stick started flaking off.  I would love to see that 'color' offered again instead of all the multi-colors they show now.

@Texas Gray Wolf  I remember that cookware. I have it. I bought almost everything Cook's Essentials and Technique and they are still going strong. I have so many that I never use the same piece twice in one week. I was also hoping that Techinique would be back but if it did, it would never be the same like of old.

Unfortunatly, I don't think she is.  The brand is not presented at all.  She was a wonderful representative.  I liked when the rep. actually cooked.  She does have a strong presence on social media.

There are two threads with basically the same content; here's a link to the other one, where I recently posted some updated information about Cara and Cooks Essentials based on a question from earlier today:
