Mary's Kitchen Crush

The program is so scripted, it feels forced and unoriginal. A dialogue and sentimentality my grandparents would go for. Ugh.

Easy recipes that anyone can make. Love her mannerisms. She talks to her food, she has such great expressions and comments when she pulls stuff out of the oven.

I watched Mary Berg win Master Chef Canada a few seasons ago and her personality was on show then and it seems that the bright energy and snappy comments are who she really is. She does need to mix up/expand on her food adjectives as I'm getting weary of 'delish', for example, all the time. The recipes seem do-able and yummy and I will look for her upcoming cookbook with an eye to purchasing it. There are other cooking shows I enjoy more but I still haven't missed an episode of this one.

In addition to her practiced experience and adorableness, it's a wonderfully photographed and edited series.

It shines.

Endlessly rewatchable, I've decided to preserve it as reference material.

Well done all.

The tips and recipes in this cooking show are standard fare, nothing special but far from terrible. The hostess, however, I find so phony and fake. She is incredibly annoying, couldn't stand her for even a whole episode.

If you've seen any of the commercial promos for this, you know what you are getting. If you aren't already annoyed, you might like the show, if you are even on the fence, I'd skip it in favor of just about any other cooking show.
