Mary Berry’s back with a new show

Mary Berry, the beloved former host of The Great British Bake Off, is returning to television this year with a new BBC One show called  Classic Mary Berry. The program will follow Berry as she travels throughout the British countryside. After she visits home and farms to learn about different foods from various guests, she will return to her own recently remodeled and enlarged kitchen to demonstrate the recipes. 

In a trailer for the new show, Berry says “I’m going to show you some tips and techniques with almost no fuss.” Whether her version of “no fuss” is the same as everyone else’s is another story. Regardless, fans will undoubtedly flock to see the show.

The first episode aired this Monday, and should be available on the BBC’s iPlayer to stream now. In the inaugural program, Berry learned “the joys of caveman cooking” from Swedish fire chef Niklas Eskedt. She also demonstrated less rustic recipes, such as Eggs Benedict Florentine, lamb shanks, and “deliciously rich chocolate truffle pots.”
