In this episode, Mary is working behind the scenes at a beautiful Indian wedding.

Making the most of ingredients, limiting waste, and cooking from scratch help to keep a kitchen frugal, as Mary proves that watching pennies does not have to mean sacrificing flavor. School Chef of the Year Holly Charnock shows how she recreates her award-winning recipes for schoolchildren on a budget. Mary then visits Cackleberry Farm to learn about the useful and economical egg.

Vietnamese American Chef Andrew Le is friendly, carefree, fun and funny. He is also passionate about his work, family and mother who is keeper of all the secret broths! In this episode we learn about how the Le family immigrated to Hawaiʻi after the Fall of Saigon in 1975 and became an American success story. Today they own one of the most popular restaurants in Hawaiʻi.

Full of foolproof recipes and shortcuts for inexperienced cooks, this episode aims to build confidence in the kitchen. Mary demonstrates an easy stir fry, a simple salmon burger, and a delectable sponge dessert before meeting with the Men’s Pie Club, a group set up to combat social isolation. Then she joins a pair of food-blogging brothers as they teach their cousins how to make family recipes.

Mary and her daughter, Annabel, head to Carmarthen Bay with forager Craig Evans, who has vast knowledge of edible plants. Mary then travels to Cumbria to meet Harrison, “The Fell Foodie,” who roasts a seabass followed by a lemon and blueberry cake all made from scratch on a camp stove near an idyllic stream. Finally, Mary rustles up her family’s favorites, including Paradise Chocolate Cake.

“The more the merrier” is a motto Mary Berry lives by, as do the team from Homebaked Bakery, who feed the hordes attending Liverpool FC soccer games. On a smaller scale is Andrews, who can smore more than 400 lbs. of meat a night in his suburban backyard.
