Mary Berry visits Powderham Castle
"
In this edition, Mary Berry visits
Powderham Castle in Devon, to spend time with the Earl and Countess of
Devon and their two young children. Known as Charlie and AJ, the newest
generation of one of Britain's oldest families are taking up the
challenge of running a great stately home, reinventing the castle and
the Earldom for the 21st century.
Mary's
time with the family reveals stories of romance and tragedy, as she
discovers the attics and secret passages of this extraordinary home. In
the historic kitchen she bakes a Devon cream tea and is shown a
Powderham classic - curried cockles. She is also inspired to make a
delicate peach posset for a Midsummer Eve woodland party the family are
throwing to celebrate their two year anniversary at the castle, as well
as to thank the local community."
