Mary Berry receives lifetime achievement award
When I first began working with AGA more than 10 years ago, I was introduced to Mary Berry and her lovely assistant Lucy Young. Since then I've worked with them both on a regular basis and we've become firm friends. So I was thrilled when Lucy told me this morning that Mary won a lifetime achievement award at the Guild of Food Writers' annual awards ceremony.
Mary has written more than 70 books, which have sold over five million copies around the world. Her recipes are consistently brilliant and always work perfectly, so this award is richly deserved.
Only the other day I was talking to Jilly Cooper, who said that Mary's original AGA book is quite fantastic and is ideal for those who are new to the AGA.
Mary herself said this morning that the award was a "great honour" and that she was "hugely surprised".
Personally, I can't think of a more deserved award and was truly thrilled to hear the news. I'm also sure that in years to come Lucy Young - herself the author of several wonderful books - will be up there receiving a similar accolade.
