Dame Mary Berry will host her 'Ultimate Christmas' on BBC One this festive season.
Dame Mary Berry will front her own Christmas special
The former 'Great British Bake Off' judge will team up with Rylan Clark, Monica Galetti and Angela Hartnett on the upcoming special as she shares her "tried-and-tested" Christmas feast and discovers recipes from the star trio.
She said in a statement: "It goes without saying that Christmas is a very special time of year, but over the last couple of years it has become challenging for us all, whether it’s the emotional hardship of lost loved ones, the economic hardship of cooking for large families or a combination of both.
"In this special, I am going to bring together everything you need with tips to make it a festive day to remember fondly.”
Mary will visit Angela in her home to help her cook a rich pumpkin ricotta tortelli, which is a seasonal tradition for her Italian family.
At Monica's London restaurant, she prepares her own twist on Samoan palusami with smoked haddock, cavolo nero and sourdough, which her family will eat on Christmas Day.
And she joins Rylan on a 'pick your own' vegetable farm, where the duo rustle up a dish of Brussels sprouts with peas and cashews.
During the programme, Mary also gives tips on creating a "sustainable and cost-conscious centerpiece from foraged greenery", and delves into two desserts - her traditional British Christmas pudding, and a festive trifle.
Catherine Catton - Head of Commissioning, Factual Entertainment and Events at BBC - added: “With Dame Mary joined by Angela, Monica and Rylan, this Christmas is guaranteed to be one to remember.
"We’re delighted that Mary is back on BBC One to share her incredible recipes, tips and advice for what promises to be the ultimate Christmas feast.
"Whether it’s the secret to the perfect roast potatoes, tips for a stress-free starter, or an ingenious low-cost solution to table dressing, Mary’s got it well and truly covered this Christmas.”
