Mary Berry is pictured cooking with her three children in one sweet snap taken in the 1970s
The TV chef is seen cooking with her children in one particularly candid shot, which was taken in her kitchen back in the 1970s.
Her late son William, who tragically died in 1989 at the tender age of 19, is also pictured helping his mother work on one of her culinary delights, along with daughter Annabel and son Thomas.
Still sporting her signature bobbed haircut, Mary is clad in a jazzy shirt that boasts over-sized collars and a knitted jumper.
Mary also posed up a storm for Housewife magazine back in 1966
Because I've got children I'm very lucky because they say 'don't do that again mum'
Crowded around the stove, the national treasure held out a plate of ingredients as her family got underway with their cookery session.
Other shots show Mary laying out a table of mouth-watering dishes in a delicate white blouse which possessed pretty frill detailing around the collar and cuffs.
Another shot depicts the TV favourite looking years younger, yet again, as she hosted a Sunday supper party for Housewife magazine in 1966.

Seemingly a favourite with the publication, the British food writer also posed for Housewife the following year.
Demonstrating her cookery prowess, Mary is pictured teaching a lady how to weigh treacle in the pictorial.

Meanwhile, Mary recently claimed that motherhood has meant that she has had an "advantage" over fellow female chef Delia Smith.
Speaking at her event, An Evening with Mary Berry, she said: "Because I've got children I'm very lucky because they say 'don't do that again mum'.
"I always feel that Delia, who is absolutely brilliant, hasn't had the advantage of having children like I have because you always get the truth. I get the truth from my husband too, and sometimes I get really hurt."
