Mary Berry Autobiography

From Queen of Tarts to the nation's heart, Mary Berry shares her life story in this endearing autobiography. Mary Berry is our very favourite cookery writer and presenter. She has shared her skills, experience and tips through a varied and fascinating career, covering almost every aspect of cookery, for over sixty years. Yet few people know the professional and personal story behind her success. Now, in her inspiring, charming and life-affirming memoir, Mary tells us about her life, a life in some ways reassuringly ordinary, yet at the same time completely extraordinary. Her school days were not the happiest. Latin and Maths or domestic science were the option for her to take when she was 12 - domestic science was her choice and she had a dedicated teacher, Miss Date. She found her forte and has followed it every since. It is a life of juggling that working mums everywhere will recognise; the life of a giver, who has always tried to do the best and right thing; a life that inspires in its determination to achieve despite obstacles along the way; a life that proves that you really can be a style icon and at the pinnacle of your career in your 70s. The life of a delightfully traditional, but thoroughly modern, British woman. Fans of The Great British Bake Off can't wait to get their hands on Mary Berry's heartwarming memoir. Born in 1935, Mary has been teaching Britain how to cook for over half a century. Her far-reaching culinary career has taken her from recipe tester, cookery editor, author and entrepreneur to TV personality. Mary lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband Paul.
