In tonight’s first programme, Mary draws on inspiration from some of her earliest and fondest memories from her childhood holidays and regular trips to the British seaside.

Tonight Mary is inspired by her love of the great British countryside. Brought up in the country, Mary still loves to go walking with her dogs and family, as well as forage for wild ingredients.

Tonight Mary takes inspiration from the herb garden. Only dried herbs were available when Mary started cooking, but these days there is an abundance of fresh herbs that can turn an ordinary dish into something spectacular.

One of Mary’s pleasures is to shop for fresh, exciting, seasonal ingredients, and tonight; it’s the local farmers' market that inspires Mary.

Tonight Mary takes inspiration from a great British tradition, growing your own on the allotment. Mary’s father turned his flowerbeds over to growing veg for the war effort and ever since then, Mary has been hooked on growing her own fruit and veg.

Mary cooks dishes inspired by her home and family. No matter how busy Mary is, her top priority is to have the family round for a meal, and tonight, three generations of Mary’s family visit her in the kitchen and get involved with the cooking.

In tonight's first episode Mary shows us how to prepare and get ahead for the Christmas season. Being such a busy time of year, it's ideal to have just the right dish on standby.

Like many, Christmas is Mary Berry’s favourite time of year. But all that cooking and preparation comes with a lot of pressure. No matter how many times you’ve cooked for it before, it can all seem a bit daunting.
