As QVC's resident foodie, the In the Kitchen With David host knows the joys that good food can bring to families. So when given the opportunity to create his fourth cookbook titled Half Homemade, Fully Delicious, David wanted to create something special for chefs of all levels. 

"We all want to put great food on the table, but we need to do it in record time," David shared with E! News. "Each recipe is ten ingredients or less and each has a full-page color photo." 

And with the holiday season quickly approaching, David knows kitchens will be busier than ever. At his home, he hopes the space will be filled with special memories.

"Half Homemade, Fully Delicious is my fourth cookbook. I'm proud of all my books but this one is really special.  It speaks to how people are cooking these days.  It combines Supermarket Shortcuts (pre-packaged ingredients) with fresh to turn out really inventive dishes....There are everyday dishes and holiday favorites. Foodies of all ages will love this book!"
