In the wake of the The Great British Bake Off – and her erstwhile cohort Paul Hollywood – defecting to Channel 4, Mary Berry will stick with the BBC and judge a whole new cooking show, Britain’s Best Cook.

Working with host, Claudia Winkleman, Berry will oversee a competition that will “test the real-life expertise of truly great home cooks and will celebrate the food people make for their loved ones every single day”. So, presumably it’ll be a bit more macaroni than macaron-y – indeed, Berry hopes the show will do for “proper home cooking” what Bake Off did for those fluffy little, almond-tinged, sweetness-filled, sandwiches of multi-coloured joy.

The octogenarian taskmaster commented: “I am never more at home than when I have my judging hat on. This series is going to encourage proper home cooking which I have always championed and I cannot wait to start. Claudia, for me, is the icing on the cake.”

The show’s eight-episode run will whittle down ten contestants with no-doubt strangely familiar-but-not-at-all-IP-infringing challenges that demonstrate skill under pressure and individual flair, as they’re asked to serve up a “perfect version of dishes that define modern British home cooking.”

Whether or not we’ll be seeing it all happen in the ‘Best Cook yurt’, is – as yet – unconfirmed
