Classic Mary Berry

Mary Berry has more delicious recipes and top tips up her sleeve, this time on the theme of ‘timeless entertaining’

Mary Berry has more delicious recipes and top tips up her sleeve this week, this time on the theme of ‘timeless entertaining’ – whether that’s a romantic meal for two or a big family gathering.

She begins with her twist on a Scandinavian starter – beetroot gravadlax – made by covering a piece of salmon with fresh beetroot and leaving it to cure in the fridge for 24 hours.

After a simple supper for two of Dover sole, Mary whips up some child-friendly sticky chicken, followed by slow-roasted duck with cherry sauce.

Finally, before making a light-as-a-feather raspberry mousse, Mary helps top florist Simon Lycett decorate a banqueting table at Leeds Castle in Kent for the annual festival of flowers.
