Lincolnshire chef Rachel Green has cooked for the late Queen and Prince Philip, as well as King Charles
The milestones of our lives are often sewn into our memories by the foods we enjoy together, in celebration and in tradition. Who better to guide us towards a most scrumptious and memorable coronation weekend than a Lincolnshire chef who has delighted the taste buds of the Royals themselves, including King Charles III?
“Charles was always extremely thoughtful and always very grateful”, she shared. “I cooked canapes for an event for the Prince’s Trust, and also cooked for him a three course meal at another event and the main was lamb.” Rachel shared her Grouse Moussaka recipe below - Prince Charles revealed his love of 'groussaka' as he celebrated his 70th birthday.

“I look back on organising things like that and realise what a great experience it was. What a privilege. I am so grateful, and it’s something to tell your grandchildren. My mother and father were hugely proud of me.”In 1953, coronation chicken, or as it was listed on the menu, “Poulet Reine Elizabeth”, was born to mark the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II. This year, Coronation Quiche has officially been chosen to take centre stage on the picnic blanket.
In her perfect coronation day picnic basket, she would pack "a feast of vol-au-vents, prawns or crayfish, the sandwiches would have to be with Enderby’s smoked salmon from Grimsby, with horseradish. A really great egg sandwich and homemade scotch egg, coronation chicken, pork pie, and for something sweet, perhaps something like a Welsh cake, which doesn’t take long to make.”
