On 7 December Michael will be guest on Mary Makes It Easy, BBC Two at 7:30pm.
The episode is called "Adventurous Cooking":
Mary shows keen cook Michael how to be more daring in the kitchen, especially with desserts. On stage at Michael's most recent West End musical Aspects of Love at London's Lyric Theatre, they make an easy key lime pie,
while Mary also creates an incredible chocolate celebration cake.
Mary explains: "We actually did our cooking in the theatre. I also had a little sing-a-long with him and gosh, his voice is so memorable. It was a privilege!
I hope the series inspires people to get going and do some home cooking from scratch!"
Many thanks to Mark for the heads-up!
