Who’s the author? Dame Mary Berry is one of Britain’s best-loved cookbook authors and television cooks. Originally Cordon Bleu-trained in Paris, she began her career as a magazine cookery editor before publishing her first cookbook in 1966, and has spent decades helping generations of home cooks build confidence in the kitchen.

As well as starring as a judge on The Great British Bake Off from 2010 to 2016, Mary is the author of multiple bestselling cookbooks, including Mary Berry Cooks, Simple Comforts, Mary Berry’s Baking Bible, Mary’s Foolproof Dinners, and Mary 90. She received the Guild of Food Writers’ Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 and was made a CBE in 2012 for her services to culinary arts.

What’s it about? In her first cookbook dedicated entirely to one-pot cooking, Mary Berry brings together 120 of her favourite recipes that prove delicious home cooking doesn’t have to mean a sink full of washing-up. From one-pan dinners and comforting casseroles to traybakes and one-bowl bakes, every recipe is designed to make mealtimes simpler without compromising on flavour.

Whether you’re looking for an easy weeknight supper or a comforting dish to share with family and friends, you’ll find plenty of inspiration. Expect family favourites, hearty slow-cooked meals, speedy pasta dishes and dependable one-tin bakes, all carefully tested and accompanied by beautiful photography so you can follow along with ease and confidence.
