Mary Berry Cooks The Perfect

by Mary Berry

Find out how Mary Berry cooks her recipes to perfection

Mary Berry Cooks the Perfect features over 100 exciting new recipes. What makes the book particularly special are the Keys to Perfection. For each recipe Mary identifies the crucial part to get right to guarantee best results, and then demonstrates it with step-by-step instructions. She reveals the secret to crisp pork crackling or melt-in-the-mouth salmon, how to bake a feather-light cake, or the key to a super-crunchy crumble topping.

Imagine Mary is in your kitchen with you, saying "watch out for this bit" or "keep an eye on that", while also sharing many of the techniques that she honed over the years.

There is a variety of recipes for the whole family to enjoy, quick suppers to rustle up after work, and impressive dishes for when you entertain. Some are tried and tested favourites with a new twist, others use a selection of new ingredients or flavour combinations.

Mary knows the details in a recipe that make all the difference. Discover them in Mary Berry Cooks the Perfect.

Great book

I like Mary Berry books.Her recipes are always good.I already have few of her books.I wish she could give more basic recipes instead of giving short cuts.

I love Mary Berry cooking books! They have such fantastic recipes in and most are so easy to make! They have great step by step guides so it is like she is right there in the kitchen with you. A really great cookery book with lots of tasty recipes. Unlike alot of cookery books this one does have, for tricky recipes, step by step pictures so that you know what it should look like while you are making it, which helps alot if it is the first time you are making it and not sure what it should be like. This book is great for people who are starting off at cooking or have been doing it for years. It is a great book to find out new recipes to try.
