Mary Berry, the former Great British Bake Off judge, has announced she will be presenting a new BBC series titled 'Mary Berry: Love To Cook'. The show, set to air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer later this year, will consist of six half-hour episodes.
The 86-year-old cookery icon said the programme encapsulates her passion for sharing knowledge and inspiring others. 'Love To Cook is me in a nutshell!' she stated, adding that the past year has seen many people discover comfort in cooking during difficult times.
In the series, Berry will seek out 'kindred spirits' with remarkable passions, share their stories, and impart her favourite recipes to encourage the nation to embrace cooking, growing, and producing food. The dishes will cater to all skill levels and occasions, from budget-friendly meals to feasts for a crowd.
Berry was a judge on The Great British Bake Off from its inception in 2010 until 2016, when the show moved to Channel 4. She has authored over 75 cookery books, including the best-selling 'Baking Bible' in 2009, and her first book, 'The Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook', was published in 1970.
Earlier this year, Berry appeared as a celebrity judge on the BBC series 'Celebrity Best Home Cook' alongside Angela Hartnett and Chris Bavin.
