BBC Orders New Mary Berry Series

BBC has greenlit the brand-new Mary Berry cooking program Mary’s Foolproof Dinners for BBC Two and iPlayer.

The 6×30-minute series, produced by Sidney Street, will see Berry bring her lifetime of culinary knowledge to the table with a host of famous friends. In each episode, she shows them how creating dinners can be foolproof.

A book of the same name will be published by BBC Books and will be available from October 10.

Berry said: “We had so much fun with the series last year, I’m delighted we’re returning with six more fabulous friends to change their thoughts about cooking with new foolproof recipes.

“Dinner is often the meal where we need most inspiration at the end of a long day or to step out of the same old recipes that we can get stuck in a rut cooking. And what’s more, these really are foolproof. I can’t wait to share them with you.”

Ricky Cooper, BBC commissioning editor, commented: “We’re delighted that Mary is sharing her incredible foolproof recipes with audiences all over the U.K. and in the process helping some of the nation’s biggest names build confidence in the kitchen. Whether you call it dinner, tea or supper, viewers everywhere are in for a real treat.”

Karen Ross, executive producer for Sidney Street, added: “This was such a joyful series to make—Dame Mary cooking her heart out with some of our most beloved celebrities who are desperate not to let her down in the kitchen. Entertaining and delicious!”
