Mary Wyer is a contestant on MasterChef UK Series 14 & 20. She is placed 13th with James, Sweta, & Zaleha on Series 14 & 5th on Series 20.
Series 14
Mary grew up with a mum who cooked food for the family on a very tight budget. This included meat, potatoes and vegetables and was purely for fuel. It was when she met her husband and tried his mum’s Sunday roasts that she first became interested in cooking, and wanted to be able to create a roast just like she did. Mary describes herself as a ‘home cook’ and loves to make pizza in her wood fired oven. She was first inspired by Delia Smith whose cookbook she would always refer to. She loves that Delia shows how you can rescue a disaster in the kitchen and found that it took the fear out of cooking. Mary and her husband have four children together with two of them still living at home and they also have their first granddaughter, who is 18 months old. When she is not spending time with her family she loves to travel and has recently visited Italy and India.
Series 20
Location: Coventry Bio: Mary, 60, is a Company Secretary at a Security Installation Company. She was born and raised in Coventry where she lives with her husband, Steve, and two youngest children, Dec and Lydia. Her eldest girls, Holly and Julie have moved out but often come round for Sunday lunch with their children. When did you first appear on MasterChef and how did it go? “I was on MasterChef in 2018 and I left in Knockout Week.” How would you describe your style of cooking? “I like to make tasty and wholesome home-style food. I love having all of my family round for Sunday roasts, Pizzas in my wood fired pizza oven and barbecues. I love making sauces and interesting sides to go with barbecues and spend a lot of time making jams, chutneys and pickles. I get inspired by reading about food and watching great chefs on TV and Instagram. I almost constantly think about cooking and love visiting food festivals and markets to see what new produce, herbs and spices I can find to go home and create new dishes with.” How did you get into cooking? Earliest cooking memory? “My sister, Julie, introduced me to food from different countries when I was about 14, as at home we only ever ate very plain food. I loved the thought of eating food from all over the world. I have been interested in cooking for many years and feel strongly about feeding my family healthy, tasty and fresh food, cooked from scratch. I guess my real passion for food began about 20 years ago and have always worked to extend my repertoire and improve my skills. I have an extensive collection of cookbooks that I love reading and getting ideas from.” How have you and your cooking changed since you were last on MasterChef? “I haven’t really experimented too much with new dishes in the kitchen since my last MasterChef experience as my life was so busy!” How does it feel to be back in the MasterChef kitchen? “It feels very exciting but also surreal to be back in the MasterChef kitchen. I felt very welcome and the best thing about it was that it reignited my passion for cooking and really challenged me in my presentation of dishes, and also really got me thinking about creating new, exciting and tasty food.” What is your food dream and has that changed since first time round? “I think this experience has boosted my confidence and belief in myself and I would like to write a cookery book of my own. I’d also love to do some recipe development on a professional level one day. Last year I was involved in a cookery book collaboration, with a brilliant bunch of people through a Facebook group. Between us we created “The Porky Punk Annual Manual”, in which I have a chapter and a recipe in and I loved writing it. Food writing is something I would never tire of. It would be wonderful to own a deli, feeding people fresh, local produce for lunch. My friend, Kate who was on MasterChef with me the first time has a chain of incredible delis in Cornwall and I would love to do something similar.”
