In this delightful six-part series, the nation's best-loved home cook draws on her wealth of cookery know-how to share a selection of her absolute favourite recipes.
Mary cooks dishes inspired by her home and family. No matter how busy Mary is, her top priority is to have the family round for a meal and three generations of Mary's family visit her in the kitchen and get involved with the cooking. To start, a delicious Malay fried rice. It's Mary's husband Paul's favourite dish and bursting with flavour, it never fails to be a real crowd pleaser. One of Mary's joys in life is cooking with her grandchildren and it's no surprise that Mary's next dish, a delicious chicken pasta bake, has become one of their favourites! Next, the family come together to enjoy a delicious harrisa spiced lamb casserole - a perfect alternative to a Sunday roast. Then it's back to the kitchen where Mary's granddaughters are on hand to help make three different flavoured scrumptious biscuits, all made from the same dough. To finish, Mary makes her easy lemon meringue pie.
