Kary Osmond, host of Best Recipes Ever on CBC TV
Growing up, Kary’s parents owned a Ukrainian deli. Kary's passion for food developed as she helped chop vegetables and roll Swedish meatballs to support the family’s catering business.
From a young age Kary became responsible for getting dinner on the table each night -- salads and scrambled eggs were often at the top of her recipe list. Plus, Kary often made breakfast in bed for her hardworking mom and discovered two things: that she was born to cook and that cooking can be messy.
As an adult, Kary tried her hand at corporate life with a career in marketing but found herself daydreaming about Key Lime Pie when she was supposed to be developing pie charts.
Kary decided to pursue her culinary dream and signed up for training at The George Brown College Chef School in Toronto. Kary chose courses in ethnic cooking and opted for classes in food theory to learn the "whys" of cooking.
After finishing her training, she quickly landed a head chef position at a popular Toronto restaurant where she got hands-on experience developing recipes and menus for brunch, lunch and dinner.
Kary looks forward to dishing out daily food inspiration on CBC's Best Recipes Ever - sharing the best of Canadian Living’s Tested Till Perfect recipes with people across the country.
Best Recipes Ever airs daily at 3pm, following Steven and Chris. Come watch a preview of Best Recipes Ever, and find Kary's best tips and techniques in our video library.
