🍽️👑 Curious what the Royal Family’s roast dinner looks like? Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who served up meals for 15 years, spills the beans on their surprisingly simple, yet perfectly polished, Sunday roasts.
🥔🥕 It turns out, the Royals stick to “the traditional bits” when it comes to their roast. Think both mashed and roasted potatoes, and veg grown from their own estate – quite the farm-to-table experience! And despite having the world’s finest ingredients at her disposal, the Queen preferred to tell her guests all about the home-grown carrots on their plates.
🧈 The secret to the royal meal was precision. Mashed potatoes were lump-free and had just the right amount of butter and cream. It’s all about those meticulous details!
🍽️ And we can’t forget Yorkshire puddings! The Royals love them big – so big, the oven door had to be taken off sometimes! But they’ll only ever have them with beef, never with other meats.
🌿 Speaking of accompaniments, when it’s roast beef on the menu, horseradish is a must. But there’s a twist: it’s horseradish cream – lighter, creamier, and made using a refined 2:1 horseradish to whipped cream ratio. Quite the royal touch!
