Cressida Bonas Instagram – “Communication is the most important thing for a mum with her children…” 💬💖
This week, we welcome @damemaryberry to the podcast. A prolific food writer, chef, baker, presenter and mother of three, Mary is one of the most recognisable faces on our television screens and book shelves, having written more than 80 cookery books in her decades-long career 📚
Mary generously invited us to her home to record our conversation (and fed us the most delicious cake afterwards, of course), and we couldn’t feel more grateful to her for giving up her time to speak to us – just a week before her 90th birthday! 🎂🎊
In this episode, Mary shares her experiences and insights as a mother, reflecting on her own mother’s influence and the lessons she learnt from her throughout her life – particularly when it comes to positivity, which Mary credits as the reason why her mum lived to 105. We talk about the importance of kindness and communication, navigating ‘mother’s guilt’, juggling career ambitions and motherhood, and recognising the joy of cooking together as a family.
We also discuss the impact of loss, the strength found in family bonds, and why it’s so important to honour the traditions that we pass down through generations.
Mary’s warmth and wisdom shines through in everything she does – we really hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did! 🥰
