About Half Homemade, Fully Delicious: An "In The Kitchen
Product Description The popular host of QVC’s In the Kitchen with David® offers a new collection of 110 simple, time-saving recipes that will change the way you shop, cook, and enjoy homemade meals. Like busy people everywhere, David Venable wants to spend less time in the kitchen prepping and cooking and more time at the table with family and friends. From appetizers to desserts, the 110 dishes in Half Homemade, Fully Delicious show home cooks how to take advantage of supermarket shortcuts with ready-to-use products found in every grocery aisle. These cook-friendly spice blends, jarred sauces, frozen fruits, canned foods, and prepped vegetables mean satisfying meals are ready in a fraction of the usual time. A looks-good-enough-to-eat photograph accompanies each recipe. From breakfast to breads, casseroles to cast-iron cooking, there are ideas for every meal and gathering. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll discover: • Cheeseburger Hand Pies • Hawaiian Breakfast Bake • Sloppy Joe Soup • Anytime Autumn Salad • Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs with Lettuce Slaw • Ground Beef–Noodle Casserole • Reuben “Sandwich” Skillet Bake • Creamy Corn off the Cob • Rosé Summer Spritzers • Donut Bread Pudding • Chocolate Dream Icebox Pie As acclaimed restaurateur and Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian writes in his foreword, “What David does better than anyone than I know is take the simplest, most ordinary ingredients and in practically no time create something extraordinary. In this book, Half Homemade, Fully Delicious, David shares his secrets on how to make incredible meals incredibly easy. He expertly shows you how to take store-bought staples and pair them with fresh ingredients for dishes that never compromise on taste.” About the Author QVC’s “resident foodie” David Venable has been a program host since 1993 and has logged more than 12,000 hours in front of the camera.

All of the 110 recipes in my newest collection use ten ingredients or fewer. Most of them take advantage of “supermarket shortcuts,” those handy, ready-to-use products from every aisle in the grocery store that will streamline your cooking.
