Throughout the series Mary helps eliminate kitchen worries, whether someone is bored of their recipe repertoire, or scared to try something new, she demystifies cooking techniques, breaks down meal planning, and shares winning recipes that will make any cook the star of the kitchen. From preparation to serving, Mary will help make it all as easy as possible.

MARY MAKES IT EASY made its U.S. debut on Saturday, February 5, 2022 at Noon ET/PT on Food Network. Chicken is the focus of the premiere episode, "What Are Ya, Chicken?," one of the most versatile ingredients, this protein can lack flavor, and is easily overcooked if not prepared properly, and Mary teaches how to make it shine in four different ways, including a classic roast chicken, comforting chicken noodle soup, savory chicken stir fry, and cheesy, crispy chicken parmesan. Chicken will never be boring or dry again.

Season 3 of MARY MAKES IT EASY made its U.S. debut on Sunday, January 21, 2024 at Noon ET/PT on Food Network. In the season opener, "Tastes of Tuscany," memories of food are Mary Berg's favorite travel souvenir, and she commemorates a recent trip to Italy with tasty dishes inspired by Florence and Tuscany. Sweets are a must in every cuisine, so she makes Apple Raspberry Crostata -- a zesty, crisp apple-filled tart with rich short crust. For the main dishes, there's cheesy Mushroom Crespelle and a Reverse Sear Steak that pays homage to the Florentine variety. To jazz up any snack or salad, Mary shares her new favorite condiment: Pickled and Preserved Onions with toasted pine nuts and raisins.
