BBC One - Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas

Dame Mary Berry is joined by special guests for a Christmas feast in the Highlands.

Dame Mary Berry travels to her mother’s homeland of Scotland, where she’s joined by friends Andy Murray, Iain Stirling and Emeli Sandé to cook indulgent Christmas dishes.

Much-loved home cook Dame Mary Berry travels to her mother’s homeland of Scotland for a magical winter break. Inspired by her own family holidays, she cooks up an array of sumptuous dishes that can be enjoyed at any time over the Christmas holidays. She is joined by friends Andy Murray, Iain Stirling and Emeli Sandé.

Mary begins her journey on a steam train, heading off into the beautiful Highlands. After settling into her cosy holiday kitchen, Mary kicks things off by creating a spectacular Christmas cranachan wreath, combining the traditional Scottish dessert with a pavlova twist, before taking a trip to tennis player Andy Murray’s hotel in Dunblane, where she catches up with his granny. Here, they cook kedgeree, a classic breakfast dish, while Andy's culinary skills are put under the microscope.

Back at the cottage, Mary rustles up the perfect festive canape for any time of day with smoked salmon and guacamole, followed by her fennel and red onion tarte tatin, accompanied with a raw winter veg slaw. 

Iain Stirling attempts to herd some reindeer while Mary rustles up an indulgent Christmas fondue with a twist, proving her theory that everything tastes better with melted cheese.

Also at the cottage, Mary makes her Highland pie with Aberdeen Angus beef and pickled walnuts. Then it’s off to a traditional ceilidh, where she makes her classic mulled wine for the revellers. Inspired by her years spent working in the Alps as a chalet girl, Mary also makes her festive stollen.

Aberdeenshire-raised singer Emeli Sandé pops in to help Mary make her classic bûche de Noël, before surprising her with some visitors - a carol-singing choir performing outside the cottage in the snow.
