Crazy Delicious

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 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.

As one who has an interest in food preparation and presentation, I was impressed by the culinary skills of the contestants, and tried to ignore the extraneous theatrics as much as possible. The professional chef judges added some helpful commentary (despite the fact that they were foolishly portrayed as food gods). I found the host ("presenter," as the British say) to be very unappealing and indelicate; she seemed an odd choice to include in a creative cookery competition. Despite its drawbacks, I remain impressed by the talented contestants.

I love Carla!! Who cares if they are told ahead of time what they are going to make!! I love it!! I find the Hostess hilarious and refreshing. This is a positive cooking show and I hope they have a second season!!!!

I love the show. It is a lot of fun and very whimsical. Jayde Adams is great as the host, but she is constantly putting herself down and making fat jokes about herself. It is really uncomfortable. And the editing makes it uncomfortable as well since it basically cuts to the next part as if everyone does not know how to react.

I wish she would love herself because it would make her hosting even better.
