ロイヤルシェフは何人かいらっしゃるようですが、このダレンさん、エンターテナーですね。コーギーのぬいぐるみ、ウインストンに着せ替えもして、コミカルです。コーギーのためのお料理も作っていたそうですし、初めての仕事に人参の短冊切りを頼まれ、この大量の人参、女王が召し上がるのですか？と聞いたら、馬のだよ、と言われたとか。コントつきの料理番組。自分で作らなくても、見て楽しめます。
カレーがインド発祥ではなく、ビクトリア女王の時代に、スパイス会社が作ったメニューと言われています。あらまぁ。
国賓晩餐会は読めるのですが、あとは文字がよく見えません。でも綺麗ですね。国旗の色に合わせてあるんでしょうね。

17時頃のアフタヌーンティの時に、ディナーは城内で食べるか、それとも丘の上でバーベキューをするか、決めたそうです。シェフは、どちらの場合にも対応できるように、チョコレートムースを銀のお皿と、タッパー入りと二つ作ったのだそうです。家族の仲が良いことが見えるエピソードですね。
Drambuie Chocolate Mousse
6 ounces Dark Chocolate.
10 fl oz Heavy Cream.
5 egg yolks. 5 egg whites.
1 tsp Instant Coffee.
2 tbs Glenfiddich Whisky or Drambuie (that I use in the video) or any good whiskey
1 tbs boiling water.
Melt the chocolate taking care not to overheat it in a large bowl.
Put the coffee in a small bowl and dissolve in the boiling water.
Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate and then add the dissolved coffee and the whisky and mix well.
Whip the cream until stiff and peaks hold.
Whip the egg whites until stiff and the peaks hold.
Fold the cream with a metal spoon into the chocolate mixture followed by the whipped egg whites.
Keep folding until there are no white specks of cream or egg white and then pour into a decorative serving dish.
Put the mousse into the refrigerator for at least three hours to allow the chocolate to set.
The top can now be decorated with rosettes of whipped cream and chocolate curls for table presentation.
This mixture makes enough for about 8 portions of dessert

ダンスしていて、蹴飛ばしてしまった相手がチャールズ皇太子だったとか、この方のエピソードはゴージャスですね。コックさんとロイヤルファミリーが同じ場所でダンスって楽しいですね。
