For more than nine years Mary Crafts has been the host of KBYU's Culinary Creations. The program is about, in Mary's own words, "what I know best: the art of entertainment." More than just a cooking show, Mary gives her advice on how to prepare for occasions of all kinds, from teenage birthday parties, to backyard barbeques, to the finest in elegant formal dinners.

After years of participating in public television as a corporate sponsor and fundraising participant, Mary was approached by a KBYU producer. "You know," he said, "we really should do a cooking show." "We really should," Mary replied. And that was that.

Mary is not an academy-trained chef. Everything she knows, she has learned herself through more than twenty years of hosting and professional catering. She creates her dishes using regular ingredients and cooking techniques anyone can master. All of her fabulous recipes are cataloged at the KBYU Culinary Creations website. See for yourself how delicious food you prepare yourself can be!

Culinary Creations is batch filmed twice a year. The live studio audience is always treated to an entertaining day - and all the food created on the show!
