Mary Berry's Simple Comforts

Mary immerses herself in the enchanting Scottish Highlands. Surrounded by magical scenery, snow-capped mountains and frost-covered forests,

Mary heads to the dramatic Yorkshire coastline to celebrate a unique bonfire party, explore the ancient seaport of Whitby and sample some classic, coastal comfort food -fish and chips and ice cream.

For many of us, nothing hits the spot quite like those dishes that evoke memories of home. Whether it is recreating family favorites, keeping traditions alive or celebrating with festive feasts, this is the food that makes us feel safe and sound. In this episode, Mary is off to explore how different families use food to create their own wonderful sense of home.

Mary visits Ireland, where humble comfort food is at the heart of the local cuisine - as Mary discovers at Cork's local food market, which is jam-packed with culinary delights, from fresh fish and steaming stews to beautiful breads and the famous Boxty potato pancake.

Mary heads off down the Thames -from the gentle, calm waters of the non-tidal Thames to the fast-flowing, choppy banks in central London. Mary explores the hidden gems of this iconic river, stopping for delicious food along the way.

Mary returns to the city where she learned to cook - Paris! It is a place that lives and breathes food, and Mary wants to sample the very best of it.
