Special Occasions

Dame Mary Berry journeys to some of the places closest to her heart, sharing memories from her past and creating new ones whilst inspiring and delighting those she meets along the way with delicious new recipes.

Special occasions are always a great excuse to make delicious food and share it with your nearest and dearest - and what better cause for celebration than a wedding? In this episode, Mary is working behind the scenes at a beautiful Indian wedding - she'll be helping the caterers pull off this huge event that feeds 400 people from morning to night while adding a recipe of her own to the menu. Blown away by the traditions, customs and vibrancy of the wedding, Mary takes time to reflect on her own special day.

She’s cooking some of her own delicious recipes that are perfect for a special occasion: her elegant avocado, beetroot and prawn stack, which is sure to wow guests, a roasting-tin spiced chicken that can be easily scaled up to feed a crowd, and a tear-and-share bread recipe that was made for sharing. Mary will add her divine chocolate shots to the wedding afternoon tea, and finally, her triumphant celebration chocolate truffle dessert - a magnificent, layered cake with an indulgent truffle centre.
