Mets et merveilles

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.

The show is beautiful and creative. A fun spin on the standard cooking show. The judges are great. The host is funny and warm, but the show could really do without her self deprecating fat jokes.

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 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.

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!
