Mary Berry Cooks Up A Feast: Favourite Recipes for Occasions and Celebrations

Product Information

The recipes themselves are laid out in numbered steps – much easier to follow than the strangely popular ‘narrative approach’ to the recipe method that seems to be universal these days. Although book is designed to feed a crowd I have either just halved the recipes for six (for two very generous helpings) or made the full amount and froze the left overs - even when freezing was not recommended and results so far have been fine. Here we round up 10 of our favourite recipes from the book that are perfect for Christmas entertaining. Discover tips for preparing in advance, simple shortcuts and stylish presentation ideas - and cook up a feast the stress-free way with Mary.
