I always used to think that about her hands but I have since read that she had polio as a child which left her hands slightly deformed.

I like Mary Berry, but thought last night's dinner party food was a bit over the top and so unhealthy, also very expensive for the likes of me!
As I said, I really do like Mary, but there is something about her hands which bothers me.....confused

I was surprised that she wears nail varnish when cooking. I remember being taught that this was a hygiene no, no!

I did cook the lemon tiered cake from last week and followed the recipe to the letter, but found it very crumbly. Was better the next day. X

Did anyone else see Mary Berry cooking for a dinner party last night? It was like a blast from the past - rich dishes with butter and cream in everything, fancy starter (though it was pretty) and a pudding that did look rather delicious. Then a discussion about the cheeseboard...

It reminded me of the dinner parties I used to be expected to give in the early 70s, as the wife of a young army officer - fiddly and expensive. I haven't cooked like that for years.

Even at functions we attend quite regularly, sometimes in lovely places, the food is simpler, and, I think, more attractive.
