Mary Berry - Cook and Share

Mary explores the historic Jurassic Coast, famous for fossils, beautiful coastal towns and delicious seafood. Mary can't wait to share the delights on offer and meet the people passionate about preserving and showcasing them.

Mary has always been a fan of the beautiful British coast. As well as visiting this very stretch of shoreline as a girl guide camping out on the Jurassic cliffs, she has special memories of childhood holidays and trips with her own children at the seaside. So many of Mary's favourite ingredients come from the sea, and there are always new ones to discover.

She meets 21-year-old scallop diver Sam Shuker. He learnt everything he knows from his fisherman dad, going on his first scallop dive at just 14. Now with his own boat, Sam is proudly carrying on the family legacy, and Mary joins him at sea to learn all about it. Back on the beach with his catch, Mary cooks the delicious scallops with garlic, king oyster mushrooms and tarragon.

Mary also gets the chance to talk to the local fishermen harvesting sugar kelp seaweed along the shore. Packed with nutrients and incredible for the environment, Mary learns how this wonderful ingredient is grown commercially. She then heads off to sample local chef Nigel Bloxham's innovative new seaweed recipes.

No trip to the Jurassic Coast is complete without a quick bit of fossil hunting, so Mary joins local fossil hunter Nigel to see what they can discover along the ancient shoreline.

Along the way, Mary also has some mouthwatering dishes to share, from the rich and creamy French classic moules mariniere to her fresh nori noodle salad, a vibrant dish packed with Asian flavours. For a hearty meal after a day on the coast, Mary's simple chicken, spinach and tomato lasagne will hit the spot, and her beautiful salted caramel cake is a tasty treat for sharing.

Mary heads to a festival where food takes centre stage. Set in the grounds of Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire, performers from theatre, music and art come together, but the real headliners are the top chefs who host sharing feasts and intimate dinners throughout the four-day event.

Mary is meeting up with an old friend, Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt. He cooks for an intimate crowd of diners who sit around the chef's table and watch him work his magic. Mary gets a taste of what's on the menu and meets some of the diners to find out how sharing this culinary experience with both friends and strangers can bring everyone together.

Mary and Niklas also head to one of the long table banquets. With a menu put together by chef Robin Gill, they join hundreds of fellow diners to share the incredible feast and soak up the festival atmosphere.

Another friend of Mary's is also performing. Sophie Ellis-Bextor is opening the main stage, and Mary is keen to meet up and share some of her recipes. They tuck into Mary's forest bean salad with lemon herb dressing, which is served alongside her celery, blue cheese and sage risotto.

Mary also shares other recipes perfect for bringing the festival feast to one's own home. Her two roast chickens with scalloped potatoes are fabulous for a smaller-scale banquet at home, and her sticky short beef ribs and lemon coleslaw are tender, slow cooked delights, great for sharing. All followed by a slice of heaven from her glazed French peach tart.

Mary heads to Edinburgh. Her late mother was Scottish, so the city holds a very special place in her heart.

Edinburgh is full of excitement as it gears up for the marathon. It's the second-largest marathon in the UK, with over 35,000 participants, and Mary has been given the honour of starting it.

Mary meets runners and their families before the race and offers support along the way before heading to the finish line, where she's be joined by her granddaughter Grace. Together, they share Mary's delicious homemade chocolate rocky road with the hungry runners after their epic race. It's an emotional and exhausting run for many, and Mary hopes her delicious treats will help put a spring back in their step.

Later, she heads to the Royal Botanic Gardens to meet children from a local school as they work on the plots. She shares a recipe for pea pesto spaghetti inspired by the Gardens' produce.
