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 cosy 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.

'Hilarious, informative, enlightening, instructive ... It's the
funniest book I've read all year' - Chris Evans You're About to
Die. What Would Your Final Meal Be? This question has long troubled
Jay Rayner. But why wait for death? Why not eat your 'last meal'
now, when you can enjoy it? So, he had a simple plan: he would
embark on a journey through his life in food in pursuit of the meal
to end all meals. It's a quest that takes him from necking oysters
on the Louisiana shoreline to forking away the finest French
pastries in Tokyo, and from his earliest memories of snails in
garlic butter, through multiple pig-based banquets, to the
unforgettable final meal itself. This is the story of one hungry
man, in eight courses. 'Witty, wise, and, obviously, delicious.'
Guardian 'A raucous, joyous celebration of life.' Irish Times
