Mary Berg (chef)
Mary Berg is a Canadian television host, author and cook, who rose to fame as the winner of the third season of MasterChef Canada. She has been the host of two television cooking shows, Mary's Kitchen Crush and Mary Makes It Easy, and the daytime talk show, The Good Stuff with Mary Berg, and is set to return to the Masterchef Canada kitchen as a judge in fall 2025 for its upcoming eighth season. She has released three cookbooks, Kitchen Party, Well Seasoned and In Mary's Kitchen.
Berg was born in Pickering, Ontario. When she was four years old, Berg was in a car accident in which her father died. Her mother and brother survived the accident with injuries, but Berg survived relatively unscathed. Berg helped out preparing meals for her family from about age 7 and by age 13 was cooking dinner for her family on her own.
Berg attended Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, Ontario, and later went on to obtain her bachelor's degree from Wilfrid Laurier University, double majoring in history and English. She then pursued a master's degree in information science at the University of Toronto.
After university, Berg became an insurance broker. She left her job to compete in MasterChef Canada in 2016. Berg was the winner of season 3 of MasterChef Canada and the first ever female winner of the show.
Since winning MasterChef Canada, Berg has appeared as a regular food expert on television shows like Your Morning and The Marilyn Denis Show. In 2017, Berg starred in an eight-episode cooking show on Gusto called Mary's Big Kitchen Party. She served as a culinary consultant for the Star Trek: Discovery episode, "Vaulting Ambition."
Berg is the first MasterChef Canada winner to host her own cooking show, Mary's Kitchen Crush. The show premiered on CTV in April 2019. Mary's Kitchen Crush won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Lifestyle Series, and Berg won for Best Lifestyle Host, at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020. Mary’s Kitchen Crush won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Lifestyle Series again in 2021 at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards, where Berg also won Best Lifestyle Host.
Berg's first cookbook, Kitchen Party, was published in September 2019.
In 2021, Berg premiered the new series Mary Makes It Easy, designed around simple, easy-to-make recipes for people who struggle with their cooking skills, on CTV Life Channel. That same year, she released her second cookbook, Well Seasoned. Well Seasoned won the gold medal at the 2022 Taste Canada Awards for best general cookbook.
