A LITTLE ABOUT ME …
Marie Louise Ludwig has been cooking since she was old enough to join her tiny Italian grandma and namesake, Marie in the kitchen, adding “ a pinch of this and a handful of that” while perched on a speckled red kitchen chair! Her passion for baking, most especially, came around the age of three as she delighted in being rewarded for being her grandma’s helper not only in getting to lick every cake batter bowl clean, but also in rolling out her first pie crusts. Grandma let her do EVERYTHING in the kitchen, including making a mess! She was a great scratch baker and home cook and a wonderful and patient teacher! Marie Louise learned from the best! As the years went by, she continued to be the chef in everyone’s kitchen, making great meals inspired both by family traditions and with her own creativity. She began entering national recipe contests while in college in 1983. She won her first contest “Chef Boyardee Pizza Cook-Off” while a senior at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. In 1989, she went on to take the grand prize, a tomato red Chrysler Convertible, in the “Hunt’s Great Recipe Hunt” with her “4-alarm Chili Mac.” In 1995, she took top honors in the Bays English Muffin recipe contest with her “Jumpin’ Jack and Pepper Pizzas,” and won $18,000. A month later, she won $10,000 for charity in the “Newman’s Own Recipe Contest” with “The Left Handed Gunslinger’s Grilled Gazpacho with Gunpowder Croutons.” That same month, she won first place in the Family Circle Magazine Bread recipe contest using hot dog buns as a basis for a cute twist on French toast, “Berry Banana Split French Toast.” Her love for food and cooking wafted her into the restaurant business where she was both manager and pastry chef for one of the busiest gourmet mall restaurant chains on the east coast. Later, she went on to host her own cooking show, “What’s Cooking,” for several seasons in the Philadelphia Market. Her breakout in national TV came in the fall of 2000 when she was granted her “Food Fantasy” on the Food Network. She was given the dream to cook for a hungry table when she was taken to a lumberjack festival where she whipped up her famous Chicken Fried Steak, buttermilk biscuits and peach pie for 15 strapping and starving competitors – on a stage and in the middle of a crackling thunderstorm.
In December 2000 she was asked to be a guest for kitchen items on QVC, where she has spent the last 11 years and over 1,500 airings as a kitchen product specialist and, most recently, as the creative talent behind her own baking show “Simply Baking with Marie Louise Kier.”
In the fall of 2008, Marie Louise was asked to co-host an international TV infomercial for OrGreenic ceramic based coookware with Australian Chef and TV host Jason Roberts. This infomerical can now be seen on TVs around the world.Her latest venture is a pilot for a brand new cooking show she hopes to launch next winter, so stay tuned!!
Marie Louise resides on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, Andy, and children Ryan, Stephanie and Nicholas. When she is not sharing the kitchen with Andy, a chef and caterer, both can be found in their huge organic garden where they grow and can everything from 20 varieties of tomatoes to berries, lettuces, cabbage, corn, cucumbers and more. As the mother of a grown adult daughter with autism, she is also a huge advocate for autistic adult care and founder of “Stephanie’s House” a non-profit organization raising money to build LIFE homes for adults with autism
