Mary Berry's Absolute Favourites

- Season 1

(2015)

Mary makes recipes inspired by her childhood, including knickerbocker glory, goats' cheese and shallot tarts, and crab and cod fishcakes.

Mary goes fly-fishing, hunts for mushrooms, and cooks a sausage lasagna, mini apple and almond cakes, and garlic mushrooms and ham on toasted brioche.

Mary makes recipes with ingredients from her herb garden, like pesto lemon chicken and lemon drizzle tray bake.

Mary cooks using ingredients from the farmers' market, making dishes like chicken with asparagus and lemon crème fraîche sauce and mixed bean salad.

Mary visits the Tangmere allotments in East Sussex and draws inspiration from them in her lamb fore shanks with English vegetables, strawberry slices, and spatchcock poussins with orange, sage and ginger.

Mary prepares recipes inspired by her family, including chicken pasta bake, mini three-way biscuits, and harissa spiced lamb with cannellini beans.
