Dame Mary Berry, most known for her stint on The Great British Bake-Off, will return to television with a solo cookery show all about sharing the joy of food and recipes with others. The cookbook writer, who has published over 50 books about the good stuff, will be back on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in her new series Mary Berry Cook and Share.
In a career spanning over five decades, the famous face will also be heading up to her mother's home of Scotland to visit Edinburgh on her cookery journey. In the new show, the 87-year-old is planning to show fans how to make her favourite foods, perfect for big gatherings, smaller parties or even just for a couple.

Mary will visit various locations across the UK - including Edinburgh, where her mother was from - in order to bring different communities together the best way she knows how, with food, as reported by Bournemouth Echo.
Speaking on her new show, Dame Mary Berry said: "Sharing recipes is always an utter joy for me and this series is the ultimate guide, whether you are cooking for a crowd or just for two.
“I’m loving visiting some spectacular parts of the country at extraordinary events, gatherings and beautiful locations for this new series.

“I have always believed there is no better way to spend time with family and friends than over fresh home-cooked food – and now more than ever that feels so important.”
The show will consist of six episodes, and will include various different recipes such as a lamb casserole, eggy bread avocado and ham toastie, and even some tear-and-share bread. Dame Mary’s salted caramel cake, honeycomb chocolate rocky road and chocolate truffle cake will also feature as some of the sweet treats.
The BBC’s commissioning editor of popular factual and factual entertainment, Ricky Cooper, said: “Mary has spent her life sharing her knowledge, her passion and of course her recipes with audiences all over the UK and beyond.
“So we’re delighted she’s returning to the BBC to share her love of cooking – and the impact it has on our lives and communities – in what promises to be a truly spectacular series.”
A book of the same name will also be published on September 1. Cook And Share will feature a new collection of more than 100 dishes from Dame Mary, including all the recipes from the TV series.
Both release dates for Mary Berry's new show and cookbook are yet to be announced, but will be featured here in due course.
