The Castle Hotel, Windsor, will welcome Britain’s best-loved cook, Mary Berry, for an exclusive book signing and Q&A event, as she celebrates her 90th birthday with a new BBC book, Mary 90. Taking place on Monday, 13th October from 6pm, the intimate evening of canapés, fizz and storytelling invites guests to be among the first to receive a treasured early copy of Mary Berry’s new book and meet the legendary cook in person at the Castle Hotel, Windsor.
Having written more than 80 books, Mary 90 marks a landmark celebration of her life in food, which accompanies a major new BBC TV series launching this autumn. The beautifully illustrated book includes a career-spanning collection of iconic, fuss-free recipes for every occasion, accompanied by Mary’s stories and cherished family photographs.
Mary shares 90 of her very best recipes, including tried-and-tested classics perfected over a lifetime of cooking. From sumptuous dishes like Chicken Coconut Traybake and a freezer-friendly Mac and Cheese to irresistible desserts like Chocolate Baileys Mousse and Raspberry Soufflé, the collection features a mix of brand-new recipes and beloved classics for every home cook.
Established as one of Windsor’s finest boutique properties, steeped in history dating back to 1528, the storied surroundings of The Castle Hotel make the perfect setting for this exclusive event following Mary Berry being made a Dame Commander by the Prince of Wales for a lifetime of cooking, writing, and baking at Windsor Castle in 2021.
Guests will be served a welcome glass of fizz, a selection of canapés, and receive a copy of a signed Mary 90, all included in the ticket price. Andrew Try, Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire and well-known local business owner, will then lead what promises to be a lively Q&A session, exploring Mary’s world of timeless British cuisine as she shares cherished recipes and stories from her remarkable career.
