The Royal Touch: Simply Stunning Home Cooking from a Royal Chef

by Carolyn Robb

The Royal Touch is a beautiful compilation of stunning recipes gathered from far and wide on an incredible culinary journey. It is one that has covered three continents over several decades and has taken in many a royal palace along the way. Carolyn Robb, former personal chef to TRH The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Prince Harry, presents the food that she loves to serve to her family and friends; food that is fit for a king, yet is accessible to us all. Inspired by everything from her mother’s home-cooking, memories of her happy childhood in South Africa and her extensive travels to the extraordinary experiences of 13 years as a chef in the royal household, Carolyn’s recipes are simple to prepare and perfect to share. Whether you are entertaining special guests, going on a picnic, planning a cozy fireside supper, cooking with children or you simply feel like trying your hand at some baking, this book has it all and the ingredients you require won’t break the bank.

An absolutely stunning book full of delicious and achievable recipes. My personal favourites are the risotto and the chocolate biscuit cake. The personal notes from the royal family are a lovely touch to the book, as are the hand-painted watercolour illustrations.

Seemed like an interesting premise, but the recipes didn't wow me.
