lol so true! Queen: Chased by royal corgis Prince Philip: Thought he was the gardener Prince Charles: Scraped the back of his leg. Harry and William: Their mom walked in on him letting the kids cook eggplant and turned it into eggSPLAT. Sounds like a great premise for an autobiography. "Royal Pains in the British Royal Kitchens" by Darren McGrady. XD
I love this recipe but I decided to tweak it a bit. Instead of using risotto I went with lovely ramen noodle. And I substituted the lamb with a delectable beef flavor packet that came with it. I then topped it of with a table spoon of I cant believe it's not butter. Just absolutely delicious.
I don't even like half the stuff he makes, just not my thing. But his passion for cooking, along with his memories he shares with us. Keeps me coming back to watch. Such an awesome chef!
I also have Crohn's, Celiac disease, a throat half the size it's supposed to be from scar tissue damage, & a stomach full of ulcers. So when I say I don't like the stuff. It's not madness or a lack of tastebuds. Why I said it's not my thing. But since I tried nice & not put that all in. I guess I'll put it in now.....
@@tempyst409 ignore these insensitive idiots,can understand why you don't have a liking to some foods. Allergies or not,some people just don't like it,simple as that.
Chief Big Bob it’s fine to have preferences, and from what I’ve seen I doubt I’d like any of that either except for maybe what he made for Prince Phillip because everything I eat is usually spicy to some degree and most British and French cuisine is very creamy and personally eating stuff that has a ton of butter and cream is repulsive to me without spices like cumin, coriander, chili pepper or turmeric

I like to think that BECAUSE he's royalty, he has more appreciation for farming and gardening. Imagine being this huge figure even before you were conceived and having huge responsibilities thrust upon you. I could see why he sought out farming and gardening
You’d have to wonder how many successful farmers wander around everyday talking to their carrots, cabbages and potatoes. You do understand Charles hasn’t ever done a days work in his life.
As an Italian I’m so happy for these beautiful words You said to our cuisine and to our country. And the fact that the Prince loves our country too makes me feel so proud, the Italian people are always grateful when we hear these pretty words. Love your coocking show on RUclips
After watching just 3 videos I am sure, that Chef McGrady and his amazing remembrances are the best PR the Royals could possibly wish for. Honest, hilarious and overall lovely.
I'm sure having a pampered life where everything is catered to you along with never having any financial worries can't hurt either! They should try living the life of a working class person!
Darren: Risotto Hell's Kitchen contestants: *flashbacks* "I mean, what boys don't love pizza?" Italians, Chicagoans, New Yorkers, and Detroiters: *AMEN* ;...when Peter Parker said "It's pizza time", I felt that
Oh, my ! Be still, me heart ! That serving at the end, with those medium rare little ribs and that deliciously multi flavored risotto, it's more than I can bear ! But, bear it I will and I will force myself to sit up and enjoy it . You are the finest chef I've seen and I've been watching chefs cook for decades !
OH MY DEAR! Rack of lamb with wild mushroom risotto! DIVINE! Thank you! Making risotto reminds me of stirring sweet milk pudding from scratch as a kid!
What a kind, wholesome gentleman! No ego, no elitism.. just genuinely immersed in stories about food and the family. Never thought royalty-related content could be so normal and heartwarming!
I so love this format! He could be talking about his grandpa working the fields while cooking this dish and I'd still love it. This format is just workin for me!
Dayummm!!! Queen ain't never givin' him the crown and he got the Rona' and she won't even let him have the mushrooms on the family property. She like "nah, kid... you messed me up with this whole Camila thing and now your son ran off to America! F*ck your mushrooms, they mine now, they were mine to begin with!"
He should so have his own cooking show😭😭😭 hehehe i swear i could just listen to him tell his stories for hours! (EDIT: just found out he now has his own youtube channel!! YAYY)

The prince of wales is a very simple, down to earth guy. He served in the Royal Navy with my grandfather, they shared a ship for a while. They are on a first name basis and have always stayed in touch with eachother, my grandfather and grandmother have often even bumped into charles and camilla while walking some of the famous Munroe mountains in Scotland.
Minted lamb rack with roast veg, peas and lightly minted gravy has always been a favourite in our house. My daughter still asks for it when she comes for tea.

What a wonderful teacher and storyteller this chef is. Also great to see one without a big ego
You're looking at Italian food through an American lens. Garlic, long pasta shapes and tomato sauce aren't as important in Italy as they are in Italian-American cuisine. Also don't know whether she liked them or not, the reason she wouldn't have them at a formal event is that they're messy to eat, and garlic makes your breath stink.
Let me guess before viewing this lovely video: Prince Charles of Wales favourite dish is to feed on other people's life energy and break them slowly until they will be mourned by the better half of the entire world.
Going through the comments I realized he isn't the 'host' of this show but rather the guest. Definitely should have his own show. Incredible job done by the producer and himself
I wonder if any members of the Royal Family watch Darren’s videos. I mean, he was after all, their former chef and he speaks fondly of them and his time there at the palace.
Homemade wild mushroom risotto is in my top 5 all time favorites dishes ever. I could eat it every single day. Thank you so much for sharing this, and your fond memories and stories, with all of us.
It brings me so much joy to watch this. Such a lovely man. Thank you for the video, I would like to see more of his beautiful work. Thank you for making my day brighter.
Thank you for the amazing comments. It’s such a pleasure working with Delish and sharing recipes and remembrances with you
Darren McGrady thank you Chef Darren for being so charming. We love your recipes and adore your stories!!!
Your series is such a pleasure to watch. Great food and wonderful stories.
Chef Darren won’t you get a tv show please? We’d watch that!!
I must admit, even I had an "Oh s***." expression on my face when you told us what happened at that dance. ^^
☺️

Yes he's amazing 🎉
This chap should get his own Netflix series. I would definitely watch it

what Netflix....he should cook for an country pub...
Honestly
you can tell this man loves what he does so much and i love that
Poor guy he messed up every time he met someone 😂

Queen: Chased by royal corgis
Prince Philip: Thought he was the gardener
Prince Charles: Scraped the back of his leg.

True member of the household then :P
Like the spiteful mushroom gathering lol
Except Princess Di
I just think it's perfect he upset Prince Phillip on how he was peeling Mango's lol.

I think most would, simple life with lots of fulfillment.

Well. It's Piazza, not Piazzer lol. Whilst we are revisiting grammar and pronunciation. There is no "r" at the end of piazza.

@@nicholassilverio2227 and? Even if you are right they became Famous in Italy because of italians so what you said has no sense you just Hating on us
Such a pleasure to watch him cook. It's good to see a chef without a huge ego for a change.
"Mummy's pinched all my mushrooms!"
OMG, for real this was the greatest comment.
Another Gem from Darren. Such a natural Chef with a calm manner. No Hype here.
Stay well Darren.

@Chacha Jones, he's already almost at 2k!!!
The great thing about this video is that I’ve watched so many other risotto videos and never did it right until he explained it so I love these
For all their differences and arguments, Charles and Diana did share a love of healthy food.
oh .
Except Diana did not love food because she was anorexic and bulimic.

The way Darren pronounces tomato and basil tells me he has been living in America for a while. Unless he is catering to a largely American audience.
Rev. James C I thought that!
He moved to American in 1998
He did mention that the oven was at 400 degrees as well.
Yes -- I hate that - he seems to care more about his alien audience than the people who made this possible ...
@@TheMaryaBell there’s a reason he moved to America you cow

Hope he's doing ok right now. Get well soon, Chuckie!
This is a great PR for Prince Philip, now i appreciate the royal dude.
Prince Philip was a wonderful man. He supported his wife for over seventy years. 🖤
He didn't mention Prince Philip in this video at all. He was talking about Prince Charles.
I would love to see him cook with Gordon Ramsey. These 2 would cook up something amazing and tell ever greater stories
Gordon would rip him in half
@@muaythaiwarrior8604 no he wouldn't. He's only like that in American reality TV shows. If you watch his British shows he's very relaxed.

To be so immensely talented is one thing.. But to be so gracious, and such a great teacher and story teller is a rare gift indeed.
This chef is so sweet and passionate about food. Such a pleasure to watch🤩
I've been loving this series with former Royal Chef Darren McGrady. I look forward to more. Thx again
More to come!
Incredible cooking confidence. What a dish! Now I know how to make risotto and lamb racks the professional way
Thank you chef Mcrady
Wish I could eat these food served to the royals for a week.. looks amazing
I love that he has the confidence not to over-complicate the dish. Simple in concept, executed with great attention to detail.
That lamb looks amazing- perfectly cooked, juicy and tender!
Darren such a cool guy. He has his own YT channel, for those of you who didn't know. He's funny and knowlegable.
Damn right the Queen comes first!
Please give this man more features, he’s a legend
My late father was into organic farming back in the 70's. So it goes back more than 30 years!
All of the third world countries been doing organic farming for centuries.
i like Prince Charles he seems the friendly type and i like the same types of food veary disarmeing smile as well
He needs a cooking show on TV! Amazing
aww, thanks Julie
I like watching Chef Darren. His behind the scene stories about the Royal Family are quite entertaining.
Let me guess before viewing this lovely video: Prince Charles of Wales favourite dish is to feed on other people's life energy and break them slowly until they will be mourned by the better half of the entire world.

This man had the most unfortunate luck when it came to meeting members of the royal family. XD
I know! Chased by the Queen's corgis, steps on the Prince of Wales' shoe, what next???
I don’t eat lamb but, I imagine this is amazing.
And then can’t say tomato
"Lamb for me & crickets for thee, peasant!"
I love this man, he’s so adorable!!! Incredibly entertaining personality as well.
