Delicious

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.

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.

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!

Great photo shots of food and scenery. Good acting. Good writing. Great break from predictable drama filled with action scenes stuck into simply dumb down.

Leo Vincent is a celebrated chef in Cornwall. His hotel, The Penrose, is a food destination and the main attraction in the area. He stole his Sicilian cooking from his ex-wife Gina Benelli and claims it as his own invention. Their daughter Teresa can't eat, is allergic to water, and needs an abortion. His second wife Sam manages his hotel although she suspects the younger manager working under her is his new mistress. In reality, he's sleeping with Gina. They're throwing a party for Leo and Sam's son Michael's 18th birthday. Sam discovers the affair and confronts him. Leo dies and leaves it all to Sam but the estate is secretly in heavy debt. Unknown to them, Leo had put the hotel in Gina's name for tax purposes. Michael has a crush on Teresa.

It's a family drama. I can't really get to love Gina or Sam. It's hard to really love either of them but together, one does root for them. Teresa's water allergy is weird and one has a tough time with her as Gina's daughter. They may as well be two different species in their physical appearance. The biggest road bump is Leo's death. He becomes a ghostly figure and a weak narrator. I'd rather have the drama of him juggling two women. There is some food porn and some pastoral setting. The material wears out after a couple of series and it lasts 12 episodes in total. The show is like the Penrose. It struggles to stay afloat and somehow makes it from episode to episode.
