Mary Berg on surviving tragedy and her passion for cooking

Turning Point with Priya Sam

Mary Berg won Masterchef Canada Season 3 and has since written two cookbooks, hosted two cooking shows (Mary Makes it Easy and Mary's Kitchen Crush), and makes regular appearances on morning shows and talk shows around the country. I'm so thrilled to have her as a guest for episode 50 and the final episode of season 2.
There have been many turning points in Mary's life but the biggest was a tragic accident; when she was just four years old, Mary's family was in a car accident and her father was killed. In this episode we hear about the lasting impact the accident has had on Mary's life and how cooking is a passion that both she and her father share.
You'll also hear about Mary's big win on Masterchef Canada and how she made the decision to leave her job as an insurance broker.
