We all love to eat well and enjoy the freshest, lightest ingredients, but who wants to spend hours on complicated recipes? Mary Berry - who tests every dish until it is foolproof - uses clever ideas and smart shortcuts to put your favourite flavours on the tables in the shortest time. Why make pastry, pit olives or labour over onion chutney when first-class products are available. Concentrate instead on fresh vegetables, top-quality fish and meat and the little extras - a parcel of young shoots or some chocolate flakes - that give the finished dish a lift. Mary's easy-to-follow recipes and tips give you mouthwatering meals that don't take hours.
