Kary Osmond

Kary Lyndsey Osmond (born October 18, 1979 in Mississauga, Ontario) is a Canadian chef who hosted Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's daytime cooking show Best Recipes Ever.

She grew up in a family that loved to cook and eat. Kary would help her mother in their family-owned Ukrainian deli. When they opened a catering company in their home's basement, Kary helped to roll meatballs, cut bread and wrap the veggie and fruit platters.

Kary's first official cooking class was in grade seven where she conquered her first recipe – Spaghetti à la Carbonara – in her Home Economics class. She then started collecting cookbooks with her first being a gift from her mom (Just for Kids Cookbook).

When she was young, she skated competitively and enjoyed traveling, spending many summers visiting family in British Columbia, Canada.

Kary is said to have had some chef school training at The George Brown College Chef School, but length of study remains unknown. The campaign taught people how to pick, store, and prepare produce and also featured original recipes developed by Kary along with many others.
