What a delightful book, a pleasure to handle, full of wonderful colour photographs not only of the final dish and its ingredients but also of the Royal Household.

The recipes cover a full meal and are presented so that you and I can attempt them at home and tease the palates of our guests.

There is an emphasis on using seasonal ingredients and tips on presentation.

There are 100 colour illustrations in an attractive binding that will enhance your bookshelves when not in use to help you produce a tempting meal from a royal cookbook.
