Britain’s favourite baker is to top the bill at this year’s Malvern Autumn Show (28th & 29th September).
Author, columnist, teacher and broadcaster, Mary Berry CBE, will be at the Three Counties Showground in Worcestershire on Saturday 28th, as a special guest in the event’s popular Good Life Pavilion.
Although she will be sharing her top tips for delicious family cooking, she will also be talking about her passion for her own lovely garden, with television gardener Joe Swift, and Show organisers are anticipating a big crowd.
Best known most recently for her part in the TV baking revival, and for her practical and healthy recipes containing lots of fresh ingredients, Mary is a household name.
Her passion for all things food, began at an early age, and she went on to train at Bath College of Home Economics followed by Paris Le Cordon Bleu. She taught Aga cookery courses for many years from her home in Buckinghamshire.
In the 1960s, she became Cookery Editor of Housewife, and later Ideal Home Magazine and was a member of the Council of Food from Britain. She published her very first cookery book in 1966.
Mary is now a household name, having hosted seven cookery series for Thames Television, and several others since.
Her first television series Afternoon Plus with Judith Chalmers came out in the early ‘70s and was a big hit with British mothers. Three children later, she continued through the ‘80s writing books and filming television series from her home in Buckinghamshire.
She continues to contribute to a variety of television and radio programmes.
Said Sharon Gilbert, Communications Manager for the Three Counties Showground: “Home-produced food is one of the main themes of our Autumn event, particularly the grow your own lifestyle, which is still very much in vogue.
Mary Berry is known for her take on family food for healthy living, so she was the perfect choice of guest for our popular Good Life Pavilion, and we know that our visitors will really enjoy her talks.”
The Good Life Pavilion is home to 5 lovingly designed edible gardens this year, and there’s a brand new, complementary Plant Fair, for those with a real passion for unusual species grown by small specialist nurseries. The area is dedicated to promoting the secrets of living a happy, healthy life, beginning with the benefits of sowing, growing and eating produce from your own ‘back yard’ – even if that back yard is just a small collection of patio pots.
Of course, the Pavilion is just one of a whole host of features planned for the Show, which is now renowned as a celebration of country life, food and nostalgia on account of its charming mix of flowers, fruit and vegetables, exquisite crafts, local food with taste and quality shopping.
