Remarkable Mary Berry: The Ageless Queen of Baking — Times News Global

Mary Berry - Timeless Baking Queen

It's amazing to think that Mary Berry, who is now 88 years old, still possesses a lively and acute mind. This popular baking expert, who was born in 1935, seems to have oodles of energy that even people much younger than her can't seem to match. Although her TV show has transferred to Channel 4, she still enjoys an unbreakable bond with her friend and co-host Mel Giedroyc. Recently, they went on an enjoyable camping trip beside the Thames, where they brought lots of cooking tools along with them in their vehicle.

As they pitched their tent near the flowing river, the duo greeted the boaters that passed by and savored a bottle of red wine. They rustled up a delectable spaghetti dish with a vegetable-based ragu, followed by a luscious parfait topped with raspberry coulis, resulting in a picnic that was both elegant and functional. Despite doubts about whether they truly spent the night in the tent, the bond between them remained authentic throughout their journey.

During the performance, Mary's kitchen was the setting for yummy recipes and humorous talks. She easily displayed her cooking skills while showing how to make a simple topping for ciabatta toast and sharing her chicken tartiflette recipe. Mary's straightforward demeanor was evident when she firmly stated to Mel, "I will observe how you progress."

Chris Skaife, also known as the ravenmaster, has taken up residence inside the iconic Tower of London. His job revolves around taking care of the eight well-known ravens that call this historical landmark their home. However, there was an issue with an outbreak of avian flu, and to prevent any further harm to the birds, they were placed in an aviary. In order to keep them happy, Chris used a unique method of entertainment. He hid little dead mice in plastic bottles, which provided them with an amusingly gory activity. It's a perfect match for a castle with such a rich history. Chris did all of this while wearing a polythene hazmat suit, ensuring that both he and the birds were safe from harm.

Chris made sure that the ravens were safe while his comrades, who are referred to as beefeaters, marched in their classic red and gold uniforms that had Elizabeth II's symbols on them for the final time. The badges have since been substituted with the King's cipher, CIIIR.
