Each actor wrapped their part in love. At last! The talent of Dawn French has found a nest, a bespoke fit. Gina Benelli and her perfect counterpoint Samantha played masterfully by Emilia Fox kept the lines and the estrogen crackling. The soulful Teresa and the dapper Mimi rounded the ages of a gquick glimpse of every woman. Writing was excellent and fun. Personally, the weekly walk on of characters and side stories gets a touch predictable. One can forgive this though with the urge to look in on the deeply interesting characters.

Not the worst series going. Relatively light considering it contains so much infidelity and the odd tragedy. Basically every character in it sleeps with every other character. When a new character is introduced as a love interest of one of the main characters it transpires they have already slept with at least 7 other characters in the past, or if they haven't they will likely sleep with another within one episode. Wife enjoyed it though!

Women bickering is a huge annoyance for me - and that's basically the entire plot of the show. Also irritating: A man who believes he's god's gift to women and of course they're going to fight over him, with a smug, smarmy narration to match. And a self-indulgent "troubled" child who could not be any less likable.

I've worked in commercial kitchens so on the one hand it was interesting because of the food; on the other a completely silly and unrealistic portrayal of all but a handful of kitchens in the world. (Yeah yeah, every cook on the planet will solemnly proclaim that each and every dish served is perfect - from Waffle House to Osteria Francescana.) Arguing about the high quality of food being served - every single episode - is as boring as a weekly F&B meeting.

When I first heard about this, and saw the trailers for it I pictured a series along the lines of The Lives and loves of a She Devil, not the case, it's a story of food and relationships, loves present and past.

Dawn French is always an advert for good television, and as always she does not disappoint. Emilia Fox plays the wronged wife beautifully, such a beautiful, talented actress, always good to see her in something away from Silent Witness.

Well produced, light hearted, nice music, and a strong cast make for enjoyable viewing. Sky 1 isn't always associated with making first class British drama, but I think Delicious shows that when they do it, they do it well.

Not exactly a gourmet meal, but a sweet treat nonetheless.

With that cast and location should have been so much more. The acting I found mostly good and i'm interested in the food industry so another plus for me.

Cornwall is beautiful and the filming is good if a little pedestrian, Lots of scope for dramatic framing and stylish camera-work.

The story was good but I would have liked to see it developed more, especially Mimi and the son/daughter story and as was said above it was so so predictable. Reminds me of a daytime soap with very obvious plot lines delivered in a simple fashion. Great techniques for a younger audience, but given the content this was meant for a more mature audience.

Overall we enjoyed watching it and would recommend it for easy viewing.
