Food fit for a King

What better time to celebrate, than the King’s Coronation? Whether hosting a party with friends and family or joining a community event, we’ve gathered a range of delicious recipes, loved by King Charles III himself!

Cheesy Baked Eggs

Kick off the celebrations by indulging in this tasty and nutritious pot of molten cheese, spinach, tomatoes and eggs. This hearty breakfast is made using fresh, local ingredients. And if you’re not already hooked, it includes not one, but two types of cheese!

Salmon Canapes

Growing up, King Charles III was a fan of fishing. He’d catch his own salmon which would be grilled or poached and served on silver in the dining room. We can’t help with the silverware, but our salmon canapé recipe will be the talk of the street during the Coronation weekend!

Wild Mushroom Risotto

Wild mushrooms, picked from the ground of Balmoral, would end up in dishes like creamy mushroom risotto. Following a high plant-based diet and having a love of Italian food, this meal quickly became a favourite of the King. Why not try out this recipe? Although we recommend you pop into your local Central Co-op store for mushrooms instead of foraging on royal grounds!

Masala Lamb Chops with Jewelled Salad

Have you spotted Ken Hom’s official Coronation recipe, rack of lamb with Asian-style marinade? Well we wanted to share our Masala Lamb Chops recipe with you, as a simple yet tasty meal that’ll go down a treat with your guests. Not forgetting the ‘jewelled’ salad which sits alongside it, offering a refreshing burst of flavour to complement your street party feast.

Hot Chocolate Souffle

In need of something sweet? Look no further than our gooey hot chocolate souffle. Using only 6 ingredients, this indulgent dessert is a yummy way to finish off your celebrations. You’ll feel you’ve dined like royalty after enjoying this chocolate treat!

Lemon and Lavender Shortbread

Get your cups of tea at the ready, as this biscuit is perfect for dunking! The zesty, fragrant flavours of lemon and lavender gives this shortbread a little hint of spring and summer. The perfect snack for your guests to enjoy over the Coronation weekend.
 

Courgette Martini

We’ve combined two of the King’s loves: fresh, local produce and a Martini. Need convincing to pop vegetables in your alcohol? Well don’t knock it til you’ve tried it. The delicate flavour of the courgette will elevate your crisp Martini, making it the perfect tipple to enjoy on a warm spring evening.
