Episode 3

鈥楾he more the merrier鈥 is a motto Mary Berry lives by. What is better than cooking crowd-pleasing delights and meeting others who also adore feeding the masses?

Mary meets those who get great pleasure out of cooking for a crowd. In Liverpool, she joins the remarkable team from Homebaked Bakery, a goal kick away from Liverpool FC鈥檚 stadium, who take on the job of feeding fans on match day. Ten years ago, the century-old bakery risked being demolished, but the incredible community rose to the challenge and saved it. Now, it is co-owned and supported by an army of volunteers.

On a smaller but still impressive scale, Mary meets Andrew, whose passion to feed has led him to build a smokehouse in his suburban garden. Describing it as a 鈥榟obby gone wrong鈥, Andrew can smoke up to 200kg of meat a night - including the kosher lamb bacon he dubs 鈥榣acon鈥.

Between these tales, Mary cooks up her own crowd-pleasing delights, including quick and easy, melt-in-the-mouth cheese biscuits, a fragrant lamb rogan curry, a sumptuous platter of sticky soy and ginger pork and crispy-yet-creamy chocolate profiteroles, the perfect pudding for a party.

Mary also shares her best tips on how to cope with more people at the table with clever ways for dealing with the washing up and how to keep large platters fresh and ready to go!
