Rita with Mary Berry
Hungerford Arcade gets more than its share of celebrities walking through its doors and today was no different. Having had a visit from Bear Grylls earlier in the week, in came the lovely Mary Berry with her husband. Mary has written more than seventy cook books since her first book was published in 1970 and has sold over five million copies. Her best selling ‘Baking Bible’ published in 2009, was rated one of the ten best baking books by The Independent.
Mary has hosted several television series for the BBC and ITV and is an occasional contributor to Woman’s Hour and Saturday Kitchen and has been a judge on the BBC’s ‘Great British Bake Off’ since its launch in 2010. Mary’s distinguished career was recognised when when she was awarded the CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 2012.
I would just like to say a big thank you to you Mary for letting me have my picture taken with you and look forward very much to welcoming you back to the Arcade in the future. Rita
Mary’s autobiography, ‘Recipe for Life’, was published in 2013 by Michael Joseph.
