2024 Life Update… Why Everything Changed | Marion’s Kitchen

[@krisalasky6897]

Since we have been watching your shows for at least 5 years we decided to take a trip to Thailand. We were there for 6 weeks and I cooked in our little hotel room. The market was just downstairs from the hotel and I was making soups and stir frys, The sellers quickly realised what I was trying to do and made up packages of spices and vegetables for me. When we got home to AUstralia I couldnt stop thinking about our trip and the beautiful people. My husband had learnt to count in Thai and I learnt a few words. I started looking online for rentals in Chiang Mai. Then I came up with the idea to move to Thailand. It took over a year to organise it. We have lived here now for 6 months and everyday I feel blessed and am so happy. I love the markets , the people , I am learning the language and even my Lazada driver teaches me words. Thank You Marion so much you changed our lives. I cook everything from your channel. I am very happy for you and your family that you are so successful. You deserve it all. We love you and mama Noi. bless you. Ka

[@rachel40045]

What a beautiful life you’re living! Absolutely amazing 🥹

[@girlgonewisej]

That transition shot from Thailand to Australia was smooth. Your editing team is fantastic

[@Marionskitchen]

My team are just amazing! Thank you for noticing!

[@the_crewchef]

I was literally going to comment the same thing, it was fire!

[@Monkey-oy1us]

Yes to long form content! Yes to recipes/cooking videos!

[@Marionskitchen]

You got it! 🥰🥰🥰

[@nicoleleys7818]

@Marionskitchen Go you good thing! Love all your work, you’re food, you’re advice and educational insights, your products, you’re sense of humour!😉😂😂❤❤❤ Please keep it coming! ❤❤❤

[@tamatoes6092]

I agree with this! I love the long form, the stories, the facts, how pretty everything is for when I'm watching on the couch or in bed. I also like quick recipe videos so I can follow quickly at home in the kitchen. ❤

[@e9090]

Marion, you made the COVID times liveable for me with your videos, recipes… the energy and authenticity you bring to your videos … thank you. Sorry it took me SO LONG to tell you this :)

[@afrancis7475]

This lady is truly amazing. I have so much love for Marion and her cooking skills, but homegirl is literally a flippin' unit. She is doing A LOT more than cooking, she is a businesswoman and holy moly such an amazing one. She stays true to her herself and longer content is fantastic. You can chill and watch it, put it in the background or put it on when you sleep. Much love to everyone on her teams too. This can only be achieved by the right people on your side.

[@cherylhaas3051]

I’m so excited for you! What I absolutely love about your whole creative process is that you have brought family into it. The kids, your sweet Mom and husband. I would also bet that the teams you have around you are also treated like family. You deserve every success you have coming your way. Years of hard dedicated work and now you can call the shots how you want. Thank you for being a very nice role model for women. You keep family at your side and include them. As you get bigger and more famous world wide, you haven’t become a private part. Well done Marion! You have kept what works for you by staying true to you. You give your parents a big high five for not raising a dough head.

[@Marionskitchen]

Oh what an amazing comment to read Cheryl. You've put a big smile on my face. I'm so grateful to have amazing supporters such as yourself. Thank you thank you thank you. And yes...I will tell my parents LOL

[@srezzy1326]

Brilliantly said!

[@Stampingerms]

You Absolutely nailed it!!

[@stephabobepha]

Marion! You singlehandedly taught me how to cook from your videos. And now, I own my very own Malaysian resto in our little coastal home and people love it so so much. It’s going so well and I’m so thankful to have financial freedom from this opportunity. So many dishes that i have on the menu are based from your recipes. ❤ From the bottom of my heart thank you so much. And yes please to the longer contents, have and will always enjoy them 🥰 Also so excited to check out all your products!

[@davinakaur2673]

Hello fellow Malaysian.. Would love to check out your restaurant sometime

[@butacrafts]

I’m really happy to hear that. Don’t be suckered into all these social media algorithm. I find myself giving lesser and lesser appreciation for those reels and shorts. But in reality, those take just as much effort. And I don’t think that gives justice to the people who are involved in putting out content. To your point of sharing more of your life and experience, the idea of “from farm to table” is really what I want to see. Not polished videos. Not pretty staging or perfect kitchen. How meals are planned. How to take advantage of seasonal produce. Ingredients substitution - one recipe, several twists “same same but different”. I can’t wait to see that pivot! Thank you, Marion!!

[@aussiebushgirl1829]

BRAVO! That is exactly what we’re looking for from you. Less algorithm, more heart! 👏🙏

[@fandle1941]

I’m in Australia and I say yes please just as soon as you like. ❤️

[@LeighS02]

I agree - not into shorts. I want the whole experience, vibe, all the drama, etc, etc 😅😂🤣

[@n.ayisha]

yes, to longer videos! your channel, along with Pailin's Kitchen and Maangchi, are my favorite 'Asian Culinary Translation' channels. not only do you explain how to make a dish, you also take time to teach people who are new to those ingredients, or combinations of flavors, or even just how to serve and eat the finished dish. my family is originally from the Caribbean, so i remain in awe of how many of the same ingredients are used in our two cuisines, but in such drastically different ways. your mom reminds me of both my grandmothers, with the 'nothing wasted' approach to cooking.

[@juliandanieljimenezkrause7802]

I also watch Maangchi and Pailin regularly, along with Marion. And an Indian guy dont get his name now, starts with R..... wait: Ranveer. They all have the same approach to cooking and eating that i so much appreciate and love. It's all about culture, traditions, happiness, sensorial experience, family, social, respect, no rush, enjoyment.

[@colbygill1976]

These 3 creators are my ‘go-to’ for anything Thai/Korean. Absolutely love them!!

[@tigrezz0852]

Imagine a collab with Pailin! Thank you Marion, you’re a true inspiration and an awesome role model. You deserve nothing but the best! Please come back to Melbourne 😊❤

[@tmpBO]

I also adore Marion, Pailin, and Maangchi. They are great teachers!

[@veget_asian]

Same here

[@TranceGemini12]

Can I just say that the thing that drew me to your channel on my first viewing was your open, friendly, down-to-earth manner and how much I felt at home watching your show. I immediately subscribed. I adore your cooking and OMG, that smile!!! Even though you are a busy, successful business woman, creator, wife and mom, you made an old woman from the mountains of Western North Carolina feel like she's just popped in for a coffee and chat. And you do this every.single.time. Well, done you. Role model for us all. Much love to you, your family and your whole team. 💕

[@notizzybeingrad]

Noooo please don't do away with your talking and the slower videos! I love them, it's like having an older sister I never had showing me the ropes and sharing her experiences. I especially love it when food content creators actually eat their food after cooking because it just convinces me that if I want to look just as satisfied, I should totally use that recipe. I have used a lot of your videos to learn how to cook and they never disappoint! I'm so happy that you have reached so many new milestones and that you chose to create instead of merely slapping your name on things. Congratulations and keep going!

[@architecturaldream1]

YES! Please! Longer content!! I want to see context, I want the story. Tell me what you put in your kids lunch boxes! Would love to see the journey of product design. Day in the Life vlogs! Recipe development - show us the fails and talk us through the why so we can learn too. And more self promotion of the products you have worked so hard to create. ❤️

[@aceleonline1358]

I started cooking asian food from scratch during COVID lockdown because of your videos, Marion! I watched so many of your videos to pass the time that I finally got brave enough to mask up and head to the local asian grocery store with my list I dutifully wrote down ("things Marian says I need but I don't have...palm sugar, dark soy, lemongrass, Shiaoxing wine, galangal, etc...") I also started growing Thai basil in my herb garden and using cilantro root since I grow it for Mexican cooking! It started off tame but before I knew it I was putting hot peppers in my stir fry's! And it WAS your longer-form videos that helped me understand the techniques necessary to successfully make asian dishes I also don't love the short ones, though they do get attention. Now I rely on your recipes above all others. THANK YOU for everything you do. I miss your meal kits, though, since we can no longer get them in the U.S. They were a serious "go to" for me. I actually loved bringing them on vacations where I would be cooking because they made "travel dinners" easy. Maybe there is a way to partner with independent grocery stores in the U.S.? I am not sure how all of that works, but I know we still have small, independent grocery stores that sell specialty products over here. I would think there would be a way to tap into that distribution chain. I hope so! Again, THANK YOU.

[@amishgirl1000]

Marion the best thing about your cooking, is not only your beautiful recipes, it’s YOU. Your warm sunny disposition makes learning Asian cooking so much fun. You are honest and genuine. A breath of fresh air. 🩷💕

[@paddypatterson3337]

Brilliant. So many people are looking for authentic. They don’t care how long the videos. You’re such a natural Marion, do you for sure!

[@nathannguyen931]

Love the honesty in this video, Marion! As a long time viewer of yours, what draws me in to your content is your humour and personality that shines through when you are teaching us how to make your recipes. I did notice last year your slight pivot to more quick cut, short form content that made your videos feel like every other TikTok food creator out there. I'm so glad you are staying true to yourself and creating content that is more you!! Can't wait for long form content where we can see more of your personality!

[@sveppir2]

Your videos were a lifesaver during covid! I made dumpling wrappers and bao buns because of you! I learned about khao mok gai because of you. And then Mama Noi - the best! But in 2023, I stopped seeing your videos. And I missed them. Thank you for this super vulnerable and super interesting post. Looking forward to your new content!

[@ladikmk]

You do you, Marion because I so enjoy seeing your smiling face and the joy that pours out of you when you're cooking - because isn't that what cooking is? Creating? Looking forward to seeing more of your life in Australia which is such a fascinating country. Long form or short form, I'll be watching. Stay well & keep on smiling.

[@Marionskitchen]

Thank you so much for watching and your support!

[@TheTexmorg]

Well said. I was going to say exactly the same thing.

[@wlspiveyful]

This video is exactly why I love Marion’s Kitchen! Marion’s love of food, cooking, and sharing all of her gifts (love, food, cooking) with the world has been a real gift to me halfway around the world.

[@helens4037]

I'm here for long content!!! Your videos are 1 of the 5 channels that actually taught me how to cook Asian food in Western country. Please don't worry about shorts, 80% of those are rubbish, but all your Longform recipes have always been a hit

[@daniellashaw1661]

I love you Marion. You’ve made me so confident with my cooking Asian food. I was never good or confident until I found you. Not only are you fun to watch, your food is simple and tastes amazing. I love how real you are. Never stop. ❤️❤️

[@richardvergara]

Marion, whatever you do is fucking amazing. Change, don’t change, long, short videos, Tim, Mama Noi, all the things…I enjoy all of it. You were definitely my inspiration for cooking again and really shifting my own cooking before, during, and after the pandemic. I don’t care what changes you make. I will continue to watch, learn, listen, and most of all love. Thank you for all you do….Rickey Vergara

[@shannonkennelly9726]

I can't even tell you how happy I am to hear that you're going to continue with all the "talking" in your future videos. I love that the length and depth will be extended as well. I have learned so much from your videos and have even used a lot of your content to go to my local Asian grocery store to stock up my pantry with a lot of the staples you use. Recently, I started seeing your shorts/reels on Instagram and I was getting disheartened that although it's beautiful content and editing, I LOVE the talking! Please bring it on!!! From Canada with much love!

[@SomchaiSpeaks]

I found you just before COVID and during what felt like interminable lockdowns and crises you kept me interested and motivated. Now that the pandemic is over, here in Chiang Mai we are beset by months on end of pollution that no one is doing anything to clear, so we have to stay indoors with air purifiers and medication. Which means we are in another kind of lockdown, but your smile, your joy and the deliciousness that you bring means so much. Whatever you do I will be watching. Thank you so very much.

[@lambulance]

We are still a pandemic and millions of people are disabled from Long Covid.

[@cbjones2212]

I read that burn off pollution is all over Vietnam too. We love Chiang Mai! and hope it improves for everyone soon

[@precipiceyouthconsultancy]

I’ve followed you ever since you were on MasterChef, and I remember getting so excited when I saw your products in Woolies! They really. Are the best, most authentic meal bases. Your content is so great, so friendly and wholesome, and I’ve even tried some of your recipes from your videos and loved them. So I’m glad to hear you’re doing more of what you love and I wish you all the best!

[@peabody1976]

The thing that happened that really helped is: once you were back in QLD and not having all the Thai things, you adapted for ingredients, and I would love to see more of that when you're in Australia. It also means that when you're in Thailand, I want to see how a Thai dish is actually made with the full recipe lists available. There's a best of both worlds that you now have that is evident in your videos already, so I'm very happy to keep watching and subscribing! Thank you, Marion! (And Tim and Mama Noi and babies and Dax and your teams in Australia and Thailand)!

[@cattachi681]

I am so excited for longer for videos!! What I love about your channel is that the food is always more than just food. There is always a story and emotion, that goes into the food. At the end of the day that's what cooking really is: channeling our love for life, food, people, family, friends, and bringing that fourth in what we create for them. Keep doing you Marion, you always inspire and energize me in the kitchen!

[@secretforreddit]

I've been following you for at least 5 or 6 years now, Marion, and I'm always amazed at the incredible things you create! Every recipe of yours that I've tried has been incredible (your khao soi is in my regular dinner rotation!) and I'm hoping someday I can find your kits in North America! Thank you for sharing all the amazing things you've been doing, and keep on creating and being awesome! Looking forward to the longer form content!

[@Natalie-health-wellness]

I missed this video, as I was looking for a rental and moving lol Marion I’ve said it a lot, you inspire me ever since I watched your videos back in 2019, I was badly injured from a surgery I had done, I had to leave work as a chef of 20 years, I couldn’t work anymore, depressed and physically challenged/disabled, I started looking into KZbin and learning more about cooking and especially Asian and Italian m, I came across yours and that’s it, I was hooked, to your style, food, your voice, your recipes and the way you love food and cook from your heart. I also write and create dishes, I also have a long trauma story and healing that also comes with food comes into play heaps in my life…. You’ve inspired me to think about what you do and that I can one day create something of my own…. You gave me a reason to live again and to want to be more creative and reopened and reignited my love for cooking and sharing that …. Food and coffee is life for me. Anyway you have done amazing for yourself, the work, content, being a family woman, and being so humble about yourself and what you’ve created…. You should be so proud for Accomplishing what you have. Yes to longer and slower videos , yes to behind the scenes and yes to more Thailand’s content and ingredients. And more noodles and dumplings lol And thank you 🩵💛🩵💛

[@formerjadedlass]

Being Asian myself, you are my OG food creator in Australia. You inspired me and got me through in soooo many ways especially in COVID. I was surprised when you started doing trendier contents like the others because for me, I find you through recipes but stay for the chit-chat/story telling. I am sooo glad you are bringing that back Marion. Cheers to this new era of yours! I'm here all the way. See you at Noosa. 😊

[@a1hindes]

Yes to story! Context! Sick of TikTok-style content everywhere that has no substance. I adore you and your style, Marion -- thank you for your authenticity and sharing your beautiful perspective and creativity. All the Thai basils!!!

[@andrewkavros6501]

This video felt like Christmas. When you're waiting to see what Santa brought for you. So exciting! You are a staple in our lives, and there's not a week that goes by where we don't seek out your content and knowledge. Thank you for letting us know you better by this video, and thank you for the years of tremendously delicious food adventures. Can't wait for more! Take care!

[@SRTahir]

OMG Dear Marion you are my inspiration. I first saw you in 2010 from MasterChef Australia. I used to live then in Saudi Arabia. Me and my family loved you, your creativity and competent style. You were like a millstone to achieve. And your attitude to set goals and then working hard to achieve them and which you made so easy for people to learn and to achieve and with that positive approach and a smile on face just like yours, what a beautiful dream to come true. Then three years back I saw you on your KZbin channel. I felt so much like home and watching you achieved so much made me so happy for you. We said yes we knew that you will do amazing in your life. And just like what I needed today was this inspirational video of yours. I am at the lowest these days in my life and your words just pulled me out of some dark place. You says that we might have taken some blessed days as for granted and I agree . My spirit just got high again in very positive way. Thanks a lot and wish you the best in your life. Your every word is so much of an education. yes it takes decades and i cant agree for less. Bless you dear always. You will be my inspiration always always. Plus you are lucky to have such beautiful mother in your life. I can see from where you inherited such a beautiful spirit. Bless her.

[@LorraineinAustralia]

Nice to meet you Marion. I have recently started cooking Asian style foods and the first thing I have made “my own” Is based on one of your recipes. Since then I’ve been watching out for your videos and going back through your catalogue. Cheers lovely, from a 70+ yr old who loves food..🌸

[@katesweight2497]

I am genuinely one of your greatest fans. You have inspired me to cook, and I have learned so much from you. If you are EVER in South Africa, It would be a dream come true to meet you and just shake your hand. Thank you for everything - you have certainly changed my life.

[@haanimely981]

[@devilsweapon]

You change my life in the kitchen. My family loves your dishes I make for them! I made your street pad Thai last weekend and blew everyone away. Your creamy chicken fettuccine Gochijang is infamous in my part of 🇨🇦. Can’t wait to try more of your amazing recipes!

[@VeronicaD0862]

Oh thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 I feel very grateful to be able to do what I do and I never take it for granted 😊 Thank you for your support!

[@Nyghtshade13]

I live in NZ...so...close to AUST. I love your channel and products but damn...it is so hard to get your products here (and you'd think we'd be able to get them easily due to proximity). I've found them in ONE supermarket - Countdown (aka AUST Woolworths chain) and even then, not all Countdowns stock your products. On saying that...thanks to you and Mama Noi with your vids, when I couldn't get your kits, I was able to source most of the individual ingredients at my local Asian Grocer to cook your meals from the vids that you both make. A real blessing during COVID lockdown. Thanks Marion & Mama Noi xoxo Much love & appreciation to you both.

[@DDCobb]

Can’t wait! I love your content and the longer the better!! 🎉

Can’t wait for the new longer format videos Marion, you are so easy to sit and watch and I could watch you for hours ❤

[@lori1302]

Hi Marion It’s Lori from Pittsburgh! HOORAY for slower, longer content!! 🎉 I have been a follower for a while now, and while I loved your recipes, I truthfully didn’t love the “rushed” format that you were recently doing. Your old videos were so relaxing, informative and inviting. The editing was spectacular! The rushed format wasn’t as joyful or relaxing to me and I didn’t get the vibe that you liked it either. Take the path least followed-knowing it’s your path. ❤️ Still waiting for you to make Thai pizza!🌺

[@amberwombat]

Still one of the best cooking channels I watch. Your Marion's Kitchen range of products is still the best quick and easy way to create authentic Asian style food. (love the Thai Green Curry 😁) . Keep being you, keep loving your world and thank you for sharing with us.

[@zandcmesa]

Ugh... Yes!!! Keep being authentic Marion. We love it.

[@MattandTomTravels]

[@kurtholzmuller2828]

It makes me happy to see you so excited about your new content moving forward. I for one, love watching you cook and source and show us around your markets. I like longer content and getting to see exactly how it is all done. I make a lot of your recipes.......my problem is I live really rural, it's beautiful, but the grocery stores are limited in what I can find. I end up ordering a lot from Amazon to be able to make many of your dishes. So, go forth and carry on and inspire us the way you are inspired!

[@Marionskitchen]

Thank you for watching and I'm so happy you've been able to cook my recipes even when the ingredients might be harder to find!

[@dawnekathleen]

LOVE ya Marion, found you during Covid, immediately hooked on your content. Your joy of food, family, life, is such a gift to be part of, shine on 💛

[@mickstape555]

I love channels that dig deeper into a recipe or a location. Looking forward to the new content.

[@annherd3991]

Living in a small rural town means it’s hard to buy authentic ingredients especially greens! Knowing good substitutes would be good! I love to cook Asian food, love the flavours, love everything about it but feel constrained by a lack of available ingredients! Love your KZbin shows! ❤❤

[@Lilducktator]

You - and even Mama Noi with you - should do the odd foodie/cooking tour of Thailand! It would be amazing. And/or popup cooking masterclasses

[@LeighS02]

Hi Marion, I absolutely love your videos. I'm in Cape Town, South Africa. I have travelled extensively, and absolutely love Asian and exotic cuisine, especially curry. My grandmother was Burmese, which is a whole melting pot of yum deliciousness, a whole other world, so to speak. I love how you chat, how you are so absolutely passionate about food, life, your family, your team - it just all melds into - well, yum deliciousness. Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Keep doing what you're doing 🥰🤩🥳

[@FTFFF]

I'm in awe of you on so many levels...including your ability to do this video where you spoke for a straight 14 minutes and told this story so beautifully, sharing everything you intended, while maintaining your energy and vibrancy throughout. That's a gift. Love your spirit...and of course, your food!

[@jonathanbryce9382]

I sat here waiting for the hammer on fall "I'm going to stop because...". Your videos were so helpful to me during the pandemic, and a tough period of my life and really got me back into enjoying cooking. I've been enjoying learning new dishes, many of which are now regulars at my table (I cook your 15 minute pork and sesame udon almost every week - it's a godsend on a busy week lol). I've been a fan of Asian food for years. This channel has really opened my eyes to new, exciting stuff. So, yes to long form content! I'm nosey, I want to see what's happening behind the scenes and I want to learn MORE about the ingredients, the process and the history of what we're going to cook. I loved your fried chicken test kitchen - take us on the journey with you! I love your quick recipes (and make it Wednesday!) from a practical perspective, but do what inspires you. It inspires us too!

[@MetaMorphication]

Dear Marion, you're doing great.❤ What I love about your videos is that they aren't hectic, but that even watching them is fun and conveys the enthusiasm that you feel. And of course the many great recipes! You infected me with your enthusiasm and I owe you many great recipes. But the most important thing is: stay as you are. Thank you!

[@LP-di1rm]

@marionskitchen After a career of cooking I felt burnt out. You Marion, have changed that. It’s a really big deal to me that I can learn and cook in a bright, new and simple manner. Thank you for gifting me back the joy of creating. You’re amazing ♥️✨

[@dymphnasilva1202]

Yes Marion I would love to see behind the scenes,more footage of different savory foods, and show the markets. Thank you we all love you from my family to yours!❤

[@icecube17ful]

Thank you for inspiring me ... started watching your channel when I was really depressed and now I discovered a different love- the love and passion I have for Thai and Asian food

[@tmackie1694]

Lovely video Marion. I kind of wish you would’ve included Australia MasterChef part of your story, that’s where a lot of us first discovered you. 😊

[@seekthetruth1485]

LOVE to watch your videos...never had one meal turn out badly. You have shown me so many things I would never know about, or have tried. My BIG wish is that you make you foods available to the US. I have collected so many different spices and oils, but having everything in a box would be the bomb. I also enjoy Momma Noi so much...what a treat to have her show us how to cook something. Love you so much!

Yes to longer videos! I want to see your lifestyle ❤ I love what you’ve done with your brand 😊

[@vimo1601]

I would love videos explaining different kinds of asian herbs and vegetables! You mentioned it and I got really excited. I love in depth content, and would especially love a kind of "inside" perspective like you could have in Thailand. Perhaps home style cooking? What do people eat every day at home?

[@berniecelee5062]

Hi Marion ! Thanks for this update of your life changes through Covid to now . I discovered you during 2020 , Covid gave me the time and space to slow down and focus on why and what is important to me. Family time and cooking for them gave me back my joy. I view cooking as a duty of care for my family and because of that, I decided I would embrace the work that came along with that duty ….that’s when I discovered the joy was also in the process of learning, understanding flavour combinations , ingredients marrying etc. the techniques made the outcome of my cooking like restaurant quality and my children said even better than some restaurants they go to . They spend good money on food as one of them is a foodie. Everyone at home enjoys All kinds of Asian food and Mexican food. Your channel is my Go To channel for Thai , so much so we have stopped eating at Thai places…quality and prices since Covid have disappointed. Armed with your recipes, I can do it better at home. Because I want to understand cooking techniques, flavour combinations, alternative ingredients since we can’t source exactly all ingredients here in Canada…..it is the KEY REASON I LOVE LONG VIDEO contents. Short videos are like Tik Tok …. Learn nothing much, just distract me for 1-2 mins and are not meaningful to me. Life is all about learning and improving. Doing anything less just makes it less purposeful. To become a master Home Chef , one actually needs to know the process and why. So please always stay TRUE to YOU ….it is what brings us 1.9 M subscribers to YOUR channel! You enjoy making the long videos because it gives context ….so please continue to make your content the way we enjoy it. I hope to head to Thailand in 2025 … and I heard I will miss it when I return home.

Thank you for this video. I took a French cooking class a and my favourite part was when the chef explained where real vanilla or cinnamon comes from and how to tell authentic spices from “extra ingredients” that may not be good for you or the dish. I think you are absolutely on the right track with longer videos with more context. It adds to the joy of cooking. ❤

[@seldolu]

Dearest Marion, Please stay true to your self. I like your longer food content. It is like a therapy to watch your videos. Thanks to you I learned a lot from your videos. Finally I could received your books in the Netherlands. Loves and hugs❤

[@nickolove-lovemore]

I first heard about you via MasterChef, a program where your talent, professionalism and authenticity really shone. However, I only recently discovered your channel. It's fantastic. I love the way you've blossomed and grown. You're such an inspiration. Continue being true to yourself. That's your ultimate gift.

[@crystalwynn3910]

I love your energy and the way you communicate so whatever dosage you want to give me, I will take it.

[@ashleylim6186]

i have loved Marion since Masterchef...i love how detailed your cooking videos are and how you share all the little tips and tricks to create layers of flavour. I love how your recipes aren't conventional but bring together different cuisine styles. so excited to see all the cool new stuff you are going to bring to the channel

[@AmaniOu2]

Yes, please! The style of videos in the past year was not really up my alley because i very much enjoyed your thorough explanation of the ingredients and the methods. I have enjoyed many of your recipes over the years because there's nothing I appreciate more than authentic recipes from those who come from the specific food culture!

[@JLorenzo81]

I'm so proud and happy for you! I've watched you blossom from the very beginning. When Covid hit, like everyone it was a huge upheaval. I haven't recovered fully. However, your videos have been a source of comfort and inspiration for me and my family. You're so awesome and your family is just precious! I'm excited to see you're future creations. I love how you've changed your content! ❤

[@m.e.5]

Love that you’ve been growing in a more authentic way. Let’s go! My mom was frm Cambodia. Your content roots me, esp since she’s passed yrs ago, as well as dad 2 yrs ago. Your creations are a gift that comfort and bring joy. Thank you Marion and your teams for bringing the warmth and love my home had growing up. It makes my inner child so happy 💓

[@pennyf9886]

I'm so inspired by your passion for food, specifically asian food. Thank you for sharing your life with the world. I'm really curious how you create, market and sell, manage quality in your products.

[@shirleylarose4038]

I am taking this opportunity to thank you for sharing all of your creativity in cooking and teaching me differently to my everyday life. The sky is the limit, I am with you in your endeavors. I wish you the best all the way through your plans. God Bless you always and beautiful family. From Canada with love and respect 🙏 ❤😂

[@ebbandflowph]

I've been a fan since your OG Masterchef Australia season, so glad to see you doing well!

[@mariamkoch5]

I started watching your videos during the pandemic and learned how to cook Thai food, curries, building flavors with Asian ingredients that were so new to me. Your explanations are incomparable, and so helpful in demystifying aspects of all cuisines. I love your creative process and have your cookbooks, too! In a digital age where recipes are online, I love the vibrant pages of each dish! I am so glad that you are staying true to yourself, and I am inspired by you! ❤

[@realessence]

I came across your videos from time to time and always enjoyed them. I just want to say what is special about your videos (and products you made) are that you never forget to put a lot of yourself in them. I see your fun personality, your passion, your creativity in them. Your videos are a joy to watch not just for people who cook. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey. I can't wait for more to come. All the best ❤

[@rdarvin01]

I don't usually comment on any platform, but just wanted to share how I started following you back in 2019 when we were living in Hong Kong. Following your videos and making your recipes really helped improve my cooking game since then, and now I really enjoy being in the kitchen and preparing dishes that my family love. Keep up the great work and content! Now I'll need to see if your cookware is available here in Canada :)

[@melissaganasen7357]

My son (9 years old) and I simply love your content, so much so that we started watching MasterChef. We're almost at the end of MasterChef season 2 and the episode that you've been eliminated. He was devastated, knowing that you're so successful but was eliminated. I'm so excited for the longer videos. Wishing you and your teams an abundance of prosperity.. With love from South Africa..

[@mikearsenault9244]

I feel that the longer videos are better as you can explain the reasons behind what you do and why you do it. When we can understand why to do things a certain way then I know we can become better cooks as we deepen our understanding. I personally love the longer more detailed videos so please don't rush.

[@lisabarnes6351]

I’m amazed at all the things you do - I’d buy your ‘kits’ if I saw them for sale in the uk and your cookware looks gorgeous. I preferred your longer recipe videos, I found them relaxing. I have to admit that I didn’t visit your channel anywhere near as much when the videos became snappy. Thanks Marion :-)

[@mkj9374]

You bring food alive. You do you. It's great. I'm happy to follow you at every step. Can you bring your meal kits to the UK please.

[@psdaughter8230]

Good to hear🎉 I don’t like the fast videos unless they’re shorts, looking forward to it & thanks for sharing your time & knowledge ❤
