September 4 - 10, 2022 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • 19 tastytv BY GEORGE DICKIE Whet your appetite with Acorn's 'Recipes for Love and Murder' If you happen to like your mystery with a side of food porn, then "Recipes for Love and Murder" might be for you. Premiering Monday, Sept. 5, on Acorn TV, the 10-part series from South Africa stars Maria Doyle Kennedy ("The Tudors," "Orphan Black") as Tannie Maria (Auntie Maria in Afrikaans), a food columnist who takes on the role of advice columnist and subsequently amateur sleuth when a woman who had been writing her about her abusive husband is found dead. Maria must work through her own mysterious past to investigate the case, helped by sometimes-rival Jessie (Kylie Fisher, "Office Invasion"), though they may make enemies in the process. All the while, Maria comforts her readers by blending experiential advice with soothing recipes. Toward that end, the series features beautifully photographed dishes and food preparation. Many came from the novels on which the series is based, Sally Andrew's "A Tannie Marie Mystery," but others came from writer/director/executive producer Karen Jeynes, who adapted the books for television. "We wanted the food to be meaningful to the story and the plot and also to the location where possible," Jeynes explains. "We wanted to perhaps showcase some food that is a bit unusual for people, that's quite South African or that's specific to the Karoo (the region in South Africa where the show is set and was filmed), so for example where sheep are farmed in great quantities in the Karoo. So we had kind of all these elements playing out and the first episode features the mutton curry." Indeed, the mutton curry was arguably the star of the opening episode as there are scenes of mixing spices, sauteeing onions and mutton and frying mustard seed. Jeynes says that most of the food prep scenes in the series were done by Doyle Kennedy, a more than competent cook, though the more intricate knife work was filmed with a hand double. "We just spent a lot of time with Maria doing kind of food choreography, really I would call it," Jeynes explains. "We'd go through the steps of the recipe with the chefs with that great team that we had, we'd obviously shoot it stage by stage. As you know, you've got to do it over and over again and you've got to take that bite over and over again and make it look delicious every time." Other dishes made on the series include a berry sorbet, a chocolate cake, a vegan cake and a shepherd's pie. Viewers interested in trying their hand at these recipes can find them on Acorn's social media platforms.
