About

Tom's new book lifts the curtain on royal kitchens past and present. 'As a food history geek,' he explains 'I cannot tell you how exciting it has been to read original recipes in the royal archive in Windsor, and disappear into the lives and reigns (and eating habits) of sovereigns from Queen Victoria onwards.' The published recipes however, he assures us, are not 'roast cygnets and ortolans' but 'proper recipes' that he's loved to cook.
