In 2022, Dame Mary will join forces with BBC2 and iPlayer to prepare recipes for your close friends and loved ones.
Dame Mary will offer us free dough-free recipes to be prepared from scratch that will work for big events as well as intimate dinners for two people. She''ll also share her expertise and explore how food can enliven communities and make a huge impact on our lives.
Dame Mary says this series is the ultimate guide for me. Whether you are preparing for a crowd or just for two, sharing recipes is always an absolute pleasure for me.
I''m enjoying seeing some spectacular parts of the country at special occasions, gatherings, and wonderful locations for this new series. I have always believed that the ideal method to spend time with family and friends is rather than using fresh home cooked foods, and now more than ever that''s so powerful.
So here''s all you need to know about...

Cook & Share with Dame Mary on Mary Berry''s Legacy
Dame Mary, 87, recounts why sharing is important to us.
"I''ve never been particularly adept at eating on my own," she says of the new series. I think it helps the conversation. I think that this has become more common in the past few years, because people have been experimenting and trying new recipes with, and everyone was locked down. That means you''ve got an appreciative audience to share the dishes with.
The first episode depicts you attending an Indian wedding. Was it an enjoyable experience? "Yes, the wedding absolutely amazed me. I was there getting a look behind the scenes and supporting the catering staff because there were hundreds of people there. The groom actually arrived on a white horse, and she was wearing a stunning red dress with the most impossible high heels. The next time I saw her after the ceremony, she was barefoot! Everything was incredible and amazing."
"I loved seeing a young man, Sam, and his father, who both developed a passion for things. I like people who love something, and seeing Sam making a living out of what comes naturally after spending time with his dad and scalloping as a kid."
"I met Scott, a Head Chef, who was so passionate about catering at Edgbaston Cricket Stadium. I really enjoyed seeing how he recruits his local local young cooks. I think that''s a good story because he sees the potential of local young cooks and also trusts them as well as the training at the school."
A lot of places you visit have a special meaning for you, including Scotland, where your mother came from. What she asked you for your best culinary advice? "Mum always planned ahead for a few days to reduce the cost and make the most of the ingredients. Its now something I always try to do that each week. For example, I would make twice as much gravy with the Sunday roast and serve it with sausages and fried onions.
You got to meet up with your granddaughter and her pals when you went to Edinburgh for the event. "Yes, it was wonderful seeing my granddaughter Abby and her friends at the Edinburgh Marathon. I remember the last one I saw when my son was 17 and he ran the London Marathon and I went to the pub afterwards with his friends who were all there with blisters on their feet! This time around, it was fantastic meeting abby''s friends who was drinking energy drinks and eating Rocky Road, believing that they were able to hold it back
Then, you introduce us to a variety of your own appetizers in the series that are ideal for partying. "I''ve chosen them because I believe they''re both professional and achievable. "They are not too complicated, but they''re very satisfying," says one person. I think food in the series is now somewhat formal. It''s mostly about sharing and passing it around. No special dishes are necessary and not so much pomp and ceremony. It''s also about gathering people."
Is there a range of special occasions on the market where you may find them? "My daughter Annabels is coming up for her Sunday lunch, and she will most likely have her family round. I''ll certainly be doing something like a couple of roast chickens, because they look after themselves and then I''ll choose gorgeous puds like my stunning Chocolate Truffle Dessert [which features in episode one, and I will just pop a candle in the middle!"
What your friends and family would prefer to share a meal with and what''s the best meal they have shared with you? "Every time my family is with me, I''m at my happiest." And it''s too complicated to name one meal! I love it when I''m being cooked for, and I appreciate whatever comes my way. It''s also the friendship that comes with it that makes sense."
Finally, the series will hopefully encourage us all to start whipping up some yummy dishes. What if you could share any culinary advice with a novice cook, what if they were? "Keep it simple, and keep it seasoned!"
