Beloved baking icon Dame Mary Berry is set to return to our screens with a heartfelt and delicious new BBC project in honour of her 90th birthday.
The culinary legend, best known for her warm presence and no-nonsense judging on The Great British Bake Off, turned 90 on March 20. And now, in true Mary fashion, she’s marking the milestone not with a quiet celebration, but with a brand new TV series that promises to be equal parts nostalgic and nourishing.
According to reports, the BBC is currently working with Dame Mary on a six-part series, due to air this autumn. The show will celebrate her life, her enduring love for food, and the recipes that have helped define British home cooking for decades. But this isn’t just another cookery programme, it’s set to be a personal journey through Mary’s favourite dishes and treasured memories, served up with the warmth and grace that have made her a national treasure.
“Mary is a national treasure so what better way to celebrate her than a new series,” a source told the Mirror. “It'll be a tribute to Mary’s joy of cooking and sharing good food.”
Fans can expect a delightful blend of storytelling and cookery, as Mary revisits recipes that span her remarkable nine-decade journey, from early family favourites and timeless classics, to the modern fuss-free meals she’s become synonymous with. True to her style, the show is likely to include practical tips, warm anecdotes, and maybe even a few appearances from familiar faces in the food world.
This project marks yet another high point in Mary’s storied career. From her early days writing cookbooks in the 1960s to becoming a household name through The Great British Bake Off, Mary has remained a trusted and comforting presence in British homes. Her signature approach, accessible, elegant, and always delicious, has earned her generations of fans across the country.
With this new series, viewers will not only get a taste of Mary’s favourite recipes but a chance to reflect on the remarkable life behind them. Whether you’re a novice cook or a seasoned baker, this upcoming series promises to be a warm, celebratory hug from one of Britain’s most cherished culinary figures.
So set your timers and ready your mixing bowls, Dame Mary is back, and she’s cooking up something very special.
