Cooking and the Crown showcases an abundance of beloved royal recipes for all seasons, everyday occasions, and celebrations of all kinds, from breakfasts, picnic lunches and dinners to coronations and state banquets, including:

• Breakfast: Queen Camilla’s Porridge, Herrings Fried in Oatmeal and Kedgeree

Punctuating the delectable recipes are essays offering behind-the-scenes peeks into the histories of kitchen suppers, garden parties, Coronations, and State banquets, as well as tales of the chefs, customs, and predilections of royal kitchens.

With material from the royal archives woven together with contemporary accounts and Parker Bowles’ own personal insights, Cooking and the Crown is a glorious recipe collection that offers a glimpse into the tastes and pleasures of the royal table from Queen Victoria to present day.
