Alan Carr beat his takeaway addiction with the help of Dame Mary Berry

Thanks to Dame Mary Berry, a culinary legend, Alan Carr has broken out of the takeaway habit.

The dynamic duo joined forces for Berry’s latest venture, ‘ Mary Berry’s Foolproof Dinners’, airing on BBC Two, where she discovered that Carr’s kitchen skills were almost non-existent until she stepped in.

The former ‘ Great British Bake Off ‘ judge, 89, shared her surprise at Alan’s lack of culinary prowess: “I’d never met]Alan] before. I had a good time meeting him because I had seen a video of him on television, and I thought he was crazy and entertaining. And we were thoroughly entertained” .

There wasn’t much action going on in the kitchen, Berry claimed in a report from her initial kitchen inspection with Carr.

“Alan doesn’t typically cook, so I quickly realized there was nothing in the cupboards or the fridge.” I said to him: ‘ Well, how do you eat? ‘ and he told me, ‘ It’s called takeaway, and it’s delivered’. And he shouts through the letterbox, ‘ Leave it outside ‘ and that’s it. “

Although he relies on food delivery, Alan seems to cherish the taste of homemade meals from his youth, which Mary Berry found to be “very significant” and gave her inspiration to learn the fundamentals of the kitchen.

Berry explained her motivation:” Growing up, Alan’s mum cooked a lot, she was a good cook and food growing up was quite important to him. So, I wanted to teach him some new, simple, go-to recipes that he could manage. “

He adored the idea of a single tray for everything. And that’s exactly what we did, a quick beef chow mein, which he could make after a busy day at work. “

‘ Mary Berry’s Foolproof Dinners ‘ airs Tuesdays from 29 October at 7.30pm on BBC Two and will be available on BBC iPlayer.
