Reviews

"Ever wondered about why Queen Elizabeth II looks like the healthiest 88-year-old in Britain? . . . A Royal Cookbook reveals some of the Queen's culinary choices, including the no-bake wedding cake served at Prince William and Kate Middleton's 2011 wedding reception. . . . While there are a few are elaborate showstoppers--such as a spring starter of crown of asparagus with crab and mango--most are surprisingly simple. The sable Breton with English strawberries and lemon cream is well within the skill range of a moderately experienced cook."-- "Maclean's"
