The British food writer and television chef makes her own versions of some classic recipes exploring a different theme in each edition, in a series celebrating what makes Mary Berry such a brilliant cook, teacher and inspiration.
Mary cooks some much-loved comfort food including Eggs Benedict Florentine, slow-cooked lamb shank, chocolate truffle pots and tries some caveman cooking.
Mary takes inspiration from a visit to a ground-breaking primary school in south London. She prepares kedgeree, drop scones, easy beef burgers, lemon syllabub and a chicken, bacon and avocado salad.
Mary celebrates the great British countryside with recipes that use produce from Britain's farms and gardens. She also steps back in time to travel on one of the Watercress Line's locomotives.
Mary pulls out some of her finest classic dishes for when entertaining. Whether it be a romantic meal for two or hosting a big meal for a gathering of family and friends.
Mary returns to one of her most loved locations, Port Isaac on the Cornish coast. There she meets local chef Nathan Outlaw and together they explore some classic dishes inspired by the great outdoors.
Mary prepares some classics that have moved in and out of fashion including a prawn cocktail, onion soup, banoffee pie, leek and onion quiche and a ploughman's lunch.

So much for Mary, yet another fallen to political rubbish
Loved Mary over the years, but was incredibly disappointed at the politics in this one. It ruined the show and I lost all respect I had for her. A shame. Politics, religion, and racism are never things to include and this was a classless move I didn't expect from her.
Such and outstanding genuine lady and chef sharing years of experience with such care in the details. I love to listen and watch her!! Impeccable manners and just a delight to see her demonstrate her expertise!! I highly recommend!!

She's a modern Julia Child
Mary Berry's show is very charming and entertaining. Regardless of your cooking skill level, she is absolutely fabulous at explaining how you can prepare what seems like a complex dish at home. The recipes are simple, straightforward and the end result is an elegant dish.
