Dinner at Buckingham Palace by Charles Oliver
Presents a collection of recipes from the royal households, based on the diaries and personal recollections of royal servant Charles Oliver. From Queen Victoria's habit of eating breakfast to the sound of bagpipes, to Prince Philip's favourite recipe, this book provides a memoir of the tastes and traditions of the royal household.
Charles Oliver grew up in the royal household during the reign of Queen Victoria. After Victoria's death, he endeared himself to George V and Queen Mary. Even when he retired, he remained very close to the palace and the entourage of Elizabeth II. It was Charles Oliver's wish that the wealth of material he had gathered over the years should be compiled into what he described as 'a cookbook with a difference'. He made one stipulation - that it should not be published until after his death. This is that book.
