Cooking with Love (2018 TV Movie)

Enjoyable but not memorable

[6/10 · 4 October 2018]

I liked the premise of this Hallmark outing. Something just seemed off to me, and I think it was that there just wasn't any chemistry between Kelly (Ali Liebert) and Stephen (Brett Dalton). Ali is a fine actress but I think she works much better as a supporting character or villain than a romantic lead. I think this movie would have actually been better served by having Kimberly Sustad (Jessica) as the love interest. I would have found her more believable. I also appreciate the light humor she always brings.

Its not an awful movie by any means. Its a good movie for a relaxing rainy afternoon.

Girl Meets Farm (2018– )

What a breath of fresh air!!!

[10/10 · 12 August 2018]

This show is a very much needed breath of fresh air to the Food Network. Molly makes cooking fun and approachable, plus with her huge, beautiful smile and boundless enthusiasm she makes you want to get in the kitchen and try out new twists to some of the classics, plus introduces us to some dishes that we may be unfamiliar with through her Chinese/Jewish heritage. I know that there's never been a jar of tahini in my refrigerator before Girl Meets Farm. Every recipe of hers that I've tried has turned out wonderfully, to my delight. I had never heard of Molly before the show, but now I've gone through her blog archives and bought her book, and I'm most definitely a big fan. She represents a new generation in the kitchen, and the future looks bright! Highly recommend and am hoping for many more seasons of Molly's life on the farm.
