Welcome to A Royal Cookbook, the first cookbook to have been created from within the Royal Household. Here you will find a selection of the authentic menus prepared and served for guests of Her Majesty The Queen, carefully chosen for you to recreate at home. With an emphasis on seasonal cooking and fresh, local ingredients, the recipes cater for a variety of occasions, from a light summer lunch to an extravagant winter feast, and offer scope for both new and more experienced cooks to entertain in style.

A Royal Cookbook also includes tips on presentation to provide inspiration for your own dining room or kitchen.

Written by Mark Flanagan, Royal Chef to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and Edward Griffiths, Deputy Master of the Royal Household.
