Yes, they are super comforting. The clothes, accents and just general "niceness" remind me of my childhood. On top of that there is the cooking to enjoy. At no point is either Mary or Judy going to (1) tell us about their sex life (2) bust a few moves (3) show off their rap stylings (4) call each other "mate" or "buddy" or (5) bore us all to death with green twaddle. It is really very refreshing!
I love the make up on her eyes. They re beautiful. Well, Mary Berry is a beautiful woman with a beautiful eyes. I d love to try this dish. Classic yet it s a new dish to try.
Well, 1975.I was 5 yrs old then. I got to know about Mary Berry only a year ago. I know Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, the beautiful Nigella, also Paul Hollywood. But Mary Berry is new to me. I like her cooking method bcoz she always did them her way, not the conventional method. New ideas. Like mine. I always change the old cooking method to make it easier n faster. No fuss.
I never taste my food when I'm cooking, and it always seems to be right. Only exception is when I'm cooking for guests, as then I want to be 150% certain!
defeating the whole object of the recipe, poule au pot chicken is a totally different texture to roast chicken, you don't eat the skin it just protects the meat.
Judith was the host of the show and here she asks the questions the audience might wonder about. I don't think Mary is annoyed at all. She's just a British woman of that era, when people didn't gush all over each other.
Interesting to see how prices on food have gone down drastically since 1975. Doubt if many people are economizing on bits of the parsley or butter vs margarine today. Guess they could afford to pay more for food when not paying 60% of their income for housing.......
The UK was going through a horrific economic downturn at the time and every pence counted which is why she had to make this relate-able to her audience. She's still quite thrifty but I think that comes from having grown up during the privations of the war and rationing.
Is this real???? it looks horrible....the bouquet garni is ridiculy small and insignificant! The presentation is hideous! Now I know why british people hated french food in that time! Absolutely NO taste in that! It should be full of vegetables! Turnips, leaks, onions, carrots, cloves and cooked for 2 hours...not 4 hours! And should be served cutted into pieces along with the vegetables!
