Mary Berry Cook and Share Season 1 Episode 06 Description
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.

Mary Berry Cook and Share Show Description
Who is the author: Food writer, TV regular, and queen of baking, Mary Berry has been teaching the nation to cook for decades and is one of the UK’s most prolific cookbook authors.
What’s it about: Cook and Share is a collection of 120 recipes perfect for gathering with loved ones, from family Sunday roasts to laid-back brunches to afternoon catch-ups over tea and homemade cake. Mary remains as determined as ever to take the stress out of entertaining and gives home cooks a helping hand with refreshingly laid-back and fuss-free dishes. It’s not all about big gatherings either, with plenty of midweek meal ideas (or kitchen suppers as Mary calls them). “Whether you are cooking for two people or for a gathering of friends and family, sharing is above all what life is about. And there’s no better way to share than with homemade fresh food”, writes Mary in the introduction, and we couldn’t agree more.
