She has published more than seventy cookery books (her first being The Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook in 1970) and hosted several television series for the BBC and Thames Television. Berry is an occasional contributor to Woman's Hour and Saturday Kitchen. She has been a judge on the BBC One (originally BBC Two) television programme The Great British Bake Off since its launch in 2010.
As always, great ideas, pictures, and layout. Who doesn't want to know where you can stop a recipe you're making for company tomorrow night. I have always worked full-time and love entertaining. If you're like me, and like to cook, this book is worth a look. Try the Chicken with lemongrass and ginger before telling me I'm wrong. After all, who doesn't love our Mary?
