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

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

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

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. 💕

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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. ❤️

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!

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

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.

In 2024, everything is so fast and instant. We all need to just slow down a bit and enjoy the moment. Looking forward to longer contents. Cheers!

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. 🩷💕

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!

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 :)

Our fast paced world moved us away from bona fide cooking shows. I loved those 30 minute PBS or Food Network hows with lots of valuable info. I’m excited you’re embracing that format. I missed it - TikTok and Instagram aren’t for me. And you’re certainly someone I’d enjoy watching for an extended episode.

More meal kits please! Another Thai noodle kit would be awesome. Your meal kits are so superior.

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. 😊

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

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

Your content is my “go to” for not just Asian cuisine but, they e taught me how to incorporate this type of cooking into non Asian dishes

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!🌺

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 KZfaq shows! ❤❤

I love the sound of your new plans!

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!

Amazing to hear your journey!! All the best for the your future endeavors 🎉

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!

I’ll be watching!!! Love your creations!!!!

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!

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!

I love your new plans for your channel!

Very inspiring 👏🏼thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

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. 😊

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

I love your content so much and get so inspired ❤❤❤

I can't wait to come along for the ride! Thanks Marion.

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..🌸

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

I love 💕 consuming long content and your videos give the beautiful food and process the time they deserve! I feel like your content is like a real life version of chefs table. And this video was really fun to watch. Love the BTS.

Love your channel! ❤🎉 How exciting!

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!

Love to hear your story, Marion!!!! May your love and creativity continue for as along as your heart desires 🩵

Great job, Marion, looking forward!!

I am so down for this!!

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!

Always look forwards to your shows. What an amazing life you lead.

Thank you for sharing! I always am excited when you post another video, I have been following and using your recipes for years! I was so happy to see a couple of your products in a supermarket here way down in Dunedin, New Zealand! Keep the goodies coming Marion!

Yes to longer episodes! Thank you!

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!❤

I love this! Long time subscriber. Looking forward to your future content!

Thank you for sharing!

Love your channel Marion! Thank you for your service and expertise

Can't wait to see what's in store next! I love your enthusiasm, knowledge and spirit of adventure. No need for you to follow the crowd or trends. You can create the next trend - or just be the best, and your subscribers will follow.

"I actually listened" - Marion and her creative story. While "being different people all at once." Love this new plan and the way you are sharing it with your audience. ❤

I Absolutely Can't Wait!!! BTW Loved your Update !!

Love your channel!!! ❤❤❤

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!

I'll still be here to watch. For me, cooking is more about learning things than just another bang-boom-band recipe, put together. I.e., I've become kinda obsessed with braising recipes since I watched Ethan Chlebowski's braising 101. I recently made chef John's italian braised beef and potatoes, but with oxtail. Glen and friends cooking: pasta a la genovese: absolutely amazing! Here's a recipe for you to give it your twist: today, I'll be making fishcakes. Finely minced (cod, in this case) and shallots, marinated in a bit of soy sauce. Some fresh tarragon! Maybe rather gochujang than any pepper. Just a hint of sugar and potato dumpling powder instead of egg to bind things. Here in Germany, the best brand is Pfanni. In the US it's brand name is Panni. (Pan in german is "Pfanne".) The chives have started to grow again. Think I'm gonna use some. Unlike in the english cuisine, I don't wanna go heavy on that potato stuff. Just to keep things together. Now comes you: did I forget something important? While in Queensland: what should be the farmers or shops to go to? It's so sad, that the fishmonger in Caboolture gave up. They where amazing! Let's support our local shops! Let's spread the word! Your subscribers come from all around the globe. Here are some examples: for best burgers and incredible onion rings:: "The Cow" in Edmond, Oklahoma, US. Organic food: Rellinger Hofladen, Rellingen, Schleswig Holstein, Germany. Asian Grocery stores: Asia Markt, Friedrich Ebert Str.2, Pinneberg, Schleswig Holstein, Germany. F-mart, 530 Colorado St, Lawrence, KS, US. Maybe someone knows someone. To spread the word.

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)!

I think you and your team are terrific. You always seem to be having fun. And you really are a teacher as well. Keep going!

What a successful girl you are! So inspiring. So grounded!! I wish I had 30 years less to try to meet you. All you do is what I would loved to have done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing all your experiences. Hello from Venezuela

Such a beautiful story Marion ❤

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 💓

I think she might be the most successful Masterchef contestant ever.

It’s so inspiring to see the journey you’ve been on, love the passion for food that you have and the genuine joy I see every time I watch your videos. I think a lot of us sense a kindred foodie in you! Looking forward to more mouth watering slo-mo shots of the food sizzling and smoking ❤

I'm so exited about your new content. I can't wait!😀

Excited for what’s to come, Marion! Enjoy all ur videos!

Always love your content!

Love love LOVE your content and this update.

I can’t wait! Thank you Marion! 😊

I love absolutely everything you do!!

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

Yes! We love this!

Love your ideas and all that you do. I have been making your salads to get more veg that has flavor! Thank you Marion!

Yay, coming along for the ride. cant wait.

I have always enjoyed your videos! You are so relatable. Love your recipes ❤

Love what YOU do Marion - thank you for sharing your heart with us xox

I’m ready! Thanks for teaching me how to cook Asian food! My favorites

Thanks! Looking forward to the new adventures!

Congrats, Marion!! Keep going! I love your content.

All sounds great!! 😍

Keep up the great work. Love the channel!

Your videos bring me so much inspiration and also they relax me beyond words. I love watching people cook and your meals are just *chefs kiss*

Always nice tomsee you and hear you talk and share your recipes Marion. Also glad you shared your life and changes you plan to make in the future. All the best! Btw love the bowls!

YES TO CONTEXT AND STORYTELLING ❤ That’s exactly how you stood out from the rest, how we got hooked, and how we just fell in love with the amazing work that you do. And when any shadow of doubt gets to you, know this is the impact you have made: Friends: hey this is so delicious! How did you make this? Me: Marion Grasby ❤❤❤

I’m so, so, so, so thrilled to hear you’re going back to the longer episodes and educational content! The shorts/quicks have a time and place, but your content stands out because of the density and richness and length. Thank you!!!

Marion, thank you for this video. It's exciting to see how you create. I just love your channel and all the content. I love the family and environmental context - your kids growing up, your cute mom. Especially when I'm not having a good day, I watch your videos over and over. It just makes me happy. Keep doing whatever inspires you - it's your authentic self.

I love this video and I love your slower, full length content. Been watching you for a long time and I’ve loved every minute.

This is the first video I’ve watched your channel, although I know who you are. I’m hooked!❤

excited for whats to come!!

One of the first things that made me start watching Marion's content is her sharing the recipes for her sauces for those that didn't have access to it so they can make it, a lot of content creators don't share recipes they've developed themselves, Marion is truly a genuine person.

Sounds like a normal growth! Take it easy and enjoy life!
