Mary Berry's Absolute Favourites

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. To start, Mary prepares some delicious goats cheese and shallot tarts with a different, but delectable, walnut pastry - perfect for a picnic hamper or day out at the sea.

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. In this programme Mary begins by preparing some delicious mushroom Scotch eggs - perfect for a country picnic hamper.

Tonight Mary takes inspiration from the herb garden. Only dried herbs were available when Mary started cooking, but these days there are 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. There's nothing like meeting local producers and the feeling of knowing where your food comes from, and in this programme, Mary visits Guildford Famers market to source some wonderful fresh ingredients to take back to the kitchen.

Tonight Mary takes inspiration from a great British tradition - growing your own on the allotment. Like many others, 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 vegetables.

In tonight's series finale 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 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. To start Mary updates her mother's favourite Christmas Eve treat, a family Fish Pie, this time served with a delicious and luxurious crouton soufflé topping.
