Mets et merveilles

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

I'm not a food show or reality tv watcher and at first I thought this would be a campy, silly show that my daughter would enjoy (the set is not the best - feels like an Alice in Wonderland world) - it has been over a week and I still think about this show, not because of the food, not because of the "celebs" - I had never heard of any of them - but I think of this show because everyone was so KIND - you can lose a competition, or judge a competition and still be KIND!! - I fell in love with the host, the judges and almost every competitor because they had a lovely nature, were supportive and still spoke their minds and told the truth without trying to destroy anyone's soul - It made me happy to see so many happy spirits out their competing and still being amazing human beings - Well Done! and Thank you!

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.

Easy watch. In the similar vein to Great British Bake-off there is no drama or rivalry. The judges give constructive feedback. The ideas that come out of this are simply mind blowing. Interesting concepts and overall just a pleasant show. I hope there are more.

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
