BBC Books has whipped up Mary’s Foolproof Dinners, the new cookbook from Mary Berry which will accompany her "major" new BBC series of the same name.
Former publishing director Lizzy Gray acquired world rights from Caroline Wood at Felicity Bryan Associates. Ebury publishing director Albert DePetrillo and editor Phoebe Lindsley will publish the book in October 2024.
Pitched as a "glorious celebration of the main meal of the day", Mary’s Foolproof Dinners contains 120 new recipes with Berry’s "foolproof" techniques and tips. Recipes include honey mustard chicken with rustic potatoes, crumble topped vegetable pie and toffee fudge tart. Each recipe is accompanied with a "glorios" colour photography and Berry’s "trademark no nonsense advice".
The six-part series, produced by Sidney Street, will air on BBC Two and iPlayer. Each episode will feature a celebrity guest with the likes of Alan Carr, Claudia Winkleman, wildlife photographer Hamaza Yassin and Sue Perkins scheduled to appear.
Berry commented: "“Dinner is often the meal where we need most inspiration at the end of a long day or to step out of the same old recipes that we can get stuck in a rut cooking. And what’s more – these really are foolproof – I can’t wait to share them with you.”
