Recipes for Love and Murder

This is a visually beautiful series. I enjoy the cooking scenes and the opening intro is stunning; it reminds me somewhat of the Dexter intro. Lovely gentle scenes of the leading actress in her garden picking tomatoes, lemons and chatting with chooks/birds. The murder story is a bit silly and for me is secondary to the cooking and food scenes. Lovely to watch in these stressful times. I truly hope they continue to make further series. Whoever thought up of this gentle and pleasant series deserves an award. Sit back, relax with some coffee and cake; and just enjoy. My review appears to be too short so I am not sure what more I can add except thank you for making this series.

I really enjoyed the storyline, writing, the location, characters and acting...even the music was great and offered something distinctly unique to this show. I want to learn more about the characters and I'm hopeful that there will be more seasons to come. Very charming show in spite of the fact that it's an intriguing murder mystery!

The photography is beautiful and I enjoyed the look of the scenes, like stage settings, with thoughtful color schemes...the setting in South Africa is also appreciated by this viewer as we rarely see shows depicting African countries.

Please continue with this creative and worthwhile series...I never write reviews so with luck, it will be received well!

Beautifully filmed. Proudly south african moment........ makes you want to eat all the time lol......... Beautifully filmed. Proudly south african moment........ makes you want to eat all the time lol.........

It matters that Tannie Maria (aka Maria Purvis) is the most likable amateur detective introduced in a long while because it means longevity - we look forward to seeing her again and willing to spend some of our time with her. Big credit goes to actress Maria Doyle Kennedy (who played one of the most hated characters in Downtown Abbey - Vera Bates). The series has an easy-going character driven style for the most part laced with some tension and a dash of the macabre with loads of humour, creating its own idiosyncratic take on the 'cottage-murder-mystery'. The cinematography, acting, music, story-telling and recipes work well together. Sure there is room for improvement, a bit of tweaking here and there but a solid first season worth the viewing and second helping.

I am a frequent visitor to the beautiful town of Prince Albert. I was there when this was being filmed. I cannot think of a better place for the crew to have filmed this. The cinematography, acting, music, direction, story - all great. I would love to see more in this series. I hope South Africans starving for great quality South African content, show their support and watch this heartwarming and charming show. Congrats to the entire team. Great fun! Please give us more...
