For seven years Dame Mary was a judge on The Great British Bake Off with Paul Hollywood and, along with Mel and Sue, shared her inimitable sense of humour with the nation. Cheeky winks and soggy bottoms made Mary Berry must-see TV. Her latest offering, Mary Berry’s Ultimate Christmas features our very own Angela Hartnett, Rylan Clark and Monica Galetti and airs on BBC One this Christmas. Angela prepares an organic chicken, leek and mushroom puff pie, which Mary praises for its lovely thick crust, while Nick serves the mulled wine.
