Mary Berry at Home Hardcover – May 1, 2013

Discovered Mary Berry in the UK and have purchased several of her books. Only caveat is there are no measurement equivalencies for those of us who aren't on metric! Even a little chart in the back of the book would be of great help.

All her recipes cook up just as stated. Really delicious.

I find that Mary Berry's recipes are not only very clear to follow, but they always work as long as you follow them exactly.

Can I just say that I didn't want this book on kindle, but I couldn't find out how to cancel it and before I knew it, it was on my kindle. What I wanted to do was buy the book but due to unforeseen circumstances I couldn't, have you got any suggestions on how to take it off my kindle without charging me, needless to say I haven't read it?

Unique recipes. Very nice change.

The recipes are super fancy, and not easy to make at home, but otherwise, it's ok!

Several times a year my daughter or granddaughter who live in the UK hop the pond with a suitcase full of Goodies for Grandma - always including several new cookbooks. The latest visit produced quite a haul, including  Mary Berry at Home . (The actual title is "Mary Berry and Lucy Young At Home." Lucy is Mary's long time assistant.) I'm building quite a stash of Mary Berry books, but this one has very quickly become a favorite, one I keep immediately to hand.Very few of the recipes in  Mary Berry at Home  are at all complicated, though you will find a few things that are imminently suitable for a special Sunday or holiday meal. You'll find lots of recipes for things to produce at the drop of a pin when somebody has to put dinner on the table and a wealth of little bites - appetizers, sandwiches, and the like. One of my most favorite pages is the two page spread of "Proper Sandwiches" you'll find on pages 234-236. Mary and Lucy give a long list of sandwich ideas of the sort that one serves for tea or picnics. Among them, the very best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten (I hated tarragon until I tried this with fresh tarragon) and the best cucumber sandwich too.There are also a number of drool-worthy desserts, at least some of which are small. I adore the Mini Victoria Sandwiches - a yellow cake filled with raspberry or strawberry jam and whipped cream, usually dusted on top with confectioner's sugar. The recipe makes a dozen little cakes that you split and fill. Since there is only one of me, ten of them (unfilled) go into the freezer for later. Also drool-worthy - a Chocolate and Orange Pavlova and Mini Banoffee Pies (crumb crust, caramel filling, fresh banana, whipped cream. YUM.)Every recipe features not only very clear instructions that are easy to follow but also suggestions for making the dish ahead of time &/or freezing where appropriate. Recipes are in UK metric, so you will need a digital scale for baking. A decent one can be had for $20 or less and will open up a whole world of cooking to you. Teaspoons and tablespoons are the same as we use here in the US.There are a few "translations" you need to be aware of -Plain Flour - All Purpose Flourcaster sugar - superfine or bartenders sugaricing sugar - confectioner's sugarSun Blushed tomatoes are a kind of half-dried tomato not available in the US, but you'll find recipes online for making your own.Knob of butter - about 2-3 tablespoons, what Grandma called "butter the size of an egg"(If I missed something do feel free to write to me.)BTW - did I mention the Posh Jacket Potatoes and the Maple Roasted Root Vegetables? Those last are a real hit at Grandma's, even with those who don't like sweet potatoes or butternut squash or parsnips.Grandma's $0.02 - Quick, easy and luscious! An instant standby in my kitchenHighly Recommended

I like a couple of chicken dishes and the raspberry tartelettes.Others seem to be not so interesting.

This has to be one of my favourite mary berry books and I use some of the recipes again and again they have become family favourites particularly the maple spiced chicken and whole roasted garlic chicken to name but a few. What I really like about Mary's books are that she puts a prepare ahead section with each recipe as a busy mum I love having dinner all prepared earlier it takes some stress out of that busy time.

THIS IS THE BEST AUTHOR ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH BAKING. HER RECIPES ARE FOOLPROOF AND I HAVE TO INVENT NEW WORDS TO DESRIBE THE SHEER BEAUTY AND SIMPLICITY OF MARY BERRY`S BOOKS. I DON`T MUCH LIKE WATCHING HER ON TELLY BUT HER BOOKS ARE A DIFFERENT KETTLE OF FISH

Great! Just another hit! I have discovered her only some months ago and I think that she is a very talented woman and I can learn a lot from her way of thinking and making impressive dinners for family and Friends, always thinking in organising everything in advance, which is something I do also require because organization is the key for a relaxed dinner when there are people around.

this is without a doubt the most beautiful of all my cook books.... It's got a bit of every thing in it and I do believe I've tried most out on my family . I love Mary Berry books they are pure cosy , buy this book for your self or as a gift . it's gorgeous
