DINING WITH THE ROYALS

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!




I can only imagine how stressful it would be to plan a wedding.  But to then plan a wedding the whole world is watching, I cannot fathom the pressures involved.  Then to be the caterer for this event? Does someone from the royal family call on Wolfgang Puck?  I mean, he caters the Oscars.  


Well, apparently you have to be a Royal Chef to cook for the Royals.  Turns out that in order to become a Royal chef, all you have to do is apply.  Just like a real job!


So my girlfriend, Maggie (with whom I always eat chicken pho), emailed me a link to a website that did great coverage of the food served at the reception at Buckingham Palace.  She thought I'd want to make some of the recipes for a tea party at my house sometime with the girls.  What a great idea! When I decide when and what dishes I'd like to make, I'll be sure to blog about it.  


Here's the fantastic website with a description of all the delicacies served in Buckingham Palace on the day of William and Kate's wedding:
