Recipes For Love And Murder, Sundays on M-Net (*101) at 20:00, is a local murder mystery based on Sally Andrew’s 2015 novel of the same name. Kindly Scottish transplant Tannie Maria (Maria Doyle Kennedy) shares advice and recipes in a Karoo small town newspaper. But when her new friend with an abusive husband turns up dead, Maria and risk-taking rookie reporter Jessie September (Kylie Fisher) decide to investigate the matter. The book itself sparked a cooking craze, and now viewers can fall in love with Tannie Maria, the Karoo and those seductive kitchen moments.
WHO’S WHO
TANNIE MARIA (MARIA DOYLE KENNEDY)
Maria Purvis has taken to the “Tannie” title like a duck to water. She seems scatter-brained, but make no mistake about her: Those darting eyes are taking in everything that they see. She’s a kind, empathetic, cheerful, polite people pleaser on the surface, but if you want to know what’s really going on with her, try her cooking. Maria longs for passion and companionship, but there is a dead, abusive husband in her past and she’s dodging phone calls from a Scottish policeman. Her pet chicken’s name is Morag and together they make unlikely but loveable heroes in the show.
