Crazy Delicious

I think a lot of the lower scoring reviews were expecting high stakes competition resulting in culinary masterpieces. There's enough shows like that already. Crazy Delicious is light hearted and enjoyable fun where the judges will try to find the positives in every dish. There's no heart wrenching backstories about how somebody is there to make their late uncle proud or sweaty tear filled countdowns. The point of this show is fun and fun is what we need right now.

I love the garden atmosphere. Many contestants have crazy, creative recipes which are very inspiring. The one big negative I have to mention is from episode 5. Elainea had this habit of sticking a finger in her food to taste test it, lick her finger, and go back to preparing food! I can't believe I have to say this to a cooking show, but that is extremely unsanitary and a big no no when cooking food! I'm surprised that the producers, directors, or anyone else who proofs these shows before they air didn't catch that! In the future, please school your contestants on sanitary practices before filming.

The show is beautiful and creative. A fun spin on the standard cooking show. The judges are great. The host is funny and warm, but the show could really do without her self deprecating fat jokes.

I watch multiple British reality-competition shows...WHY or HOW are ALL the episodes filmed the same day?? The host and judges wearing SAME outfits every episode... wth

For one thing I enjoy watching competitions. but the thing I love about it is to watch talented people showcasing their skills. I am not the one for extended back grounds of the contestants, I'd rather see more action.

For a while I have been bored with the similar set ups for cooking shows... so this magical forest feels very fresh! And even though the reciepes are peculiar and not for everyone, I can feel the joy of creating something stunning in the kitchen both by the judges and the contestans.

of course it is not perfect. I would like to see the executions better (maybe an online recipe site), and ofcourse it is scripted (how can they keep the garden full with the ingredients they need if they dont know before hand) jokes may not be for everyone neither. So if you like shows with shiny set pieces with long backgrounds of contestants dont watch this.

But I find this fairytale set up very refreshing, creative and it is definitely a feel-good series
