Bomber Bun: As Paul titters away at Sue’s 11th bun innuendo, Mary wastes no time in seeing away a bun or two. The roomy (and now legendary) floral bomber jacket allows Mary to quietly stockpile buns to see her through the approaching winter.

Queen of Puddings: We’re pretty sure no one has ever heard of this pudding. According to Mary, however, it’s a firm family favourite and has been for yonks. And who are we to argue? Mary clearly loves it.
Just look at her go.
Get it down you girl.

Creme Caramel: Always a slippery customer, Mary handles the notorious creme caramel with this signature move. According to Mary, this one’s all in the wrist (we suspect there’s a considerable role for the tongue too but Mary’s not one to be vulgar).

Clementine & Chestnut Torte: Nice Esther Rantzen bite from Mary here. Esther and Mary, of course, go way back and have been known to enjoy sharing a scone. And a dentist.

Hand-Raised Pie: Quite extraordinary work from Mary here. Tiring of the trivia of eating cake in a tent, Mary has tried to liven things up by pulling off the perfect identibite. With the aid of MBTC (Mary Berry Timecode) we can see how Mary manages to pull off near identical bites, minutes apart. What a pro. (Props to the editor for spotting that and being sure to include it in the final cut. Thorough work indeed)

Tarte Tatin 2: An interesting one from Mary here. You won’t often see this outside of the fine dining establishments frequented by the biterati. What we have here is an exquisite example of the toothless bite. Not as easy as it looks nor as painless as Mary’s tranquil lake of-a face would suggest. The toothless bite requires the biter to insert the fork-load right to the back of the throat and then wait for the heat and moisture already present to dislodge the bolus, sending it down the oesophagus. All without closing the jaw. A tricky manoeuvre, executed with aplomb. Brava.
