MARY BERRY RETURNS TO BBC TWO FOR NEW SERIES 'LOVE TO COOK'

The nation’s beloved cook, Dame Mary Berry, is back for a brand new series for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer - Love To Cook.

Across the six episodes Mary shares her passion through some exceptional dishes, from those that will inspire beginners, or put budget at their heart without sacrificing flavour, to recipes that will please a hungry crowd. Mary celebrates heartwarming classics that are perfect to nuture those around you, and of course recipes that focus on what we love to grow as a nation, be it from an allotment or an industrious window box.

Mary Berry says: “Love To Cook is me in a nutshell! My cooking is all about sharing what I know and love, teaching and inspiring everyone to enjoy cooking as much as I do. Over the past year many have had unexpected time on their hands at home and have found a love of cooking to be comforting and healing in very difficult times. Love To Cook is all about celebrating just that, with wonderful characters, as I travel the British Isles in a quest to meet and share in our passion for food.”

Catherine Catton, BBC Head of Commissioning, Popular Factual and Factual Entertainment, says: “We are delighted to be working with Mary again and very much looking forward to sharing new recipes that she loves to cook.”

The six-part, half-hour series is due to air later in the year.
