Former Royal Chef Reveals Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Homemade Dessert While Dishing On Royal Tea
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2020
- Darren McGrady was the personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Princes William and Harry-a family with notoriously specific food needs-for 15 years. In 1998, he moved to the U.S.A. where he wrote best-selling cookbooks and founded Eating Royally, a fine-dining catering service based in Dallas, TX.
Our adventures with former royal chef Darren McGrady have led to tons of revelations about our favorite British fam. We've learned that the Queen is a master of portion control who loves herself a good dose of chocolate every so often, for one. In fact, we wanted to know more about her, so we asked what other desserts she is into-it turns out the answer is "ones she can contribute to herself!"
Per Chef, the most senior of royals enjoys a stroll with her sister-Princess Margaret-through the grounds of the Balmoral estate every so often. The two of them enjoy hopping into the raspberry cages and picking a bunch of fruit (like, pounds and pounds of fruit) for the chefs to play with, primarily ahead of St. Georges Day, a celebration of knighthood the Queen presides over every year.

Darren + Corgi stories = 😭
Ha! I have many stories about those little treasures :)
please let him do one about the corgis and making food for the corgis!
He is a real old-timer for story telling!
He’s great!
Yasss , let him spill the tea sis
Ingredients:
-raspberries
-st. George
mmmmm.... St. George 🤤
Where in the heck am I gonna get St. George with all this panic buying? The supermarkets are clean out!
Ace with only the freshest St. George...
@@localmenace3043 grow your own. It's really easy.
I only like my St. George when it’s in season
I can hear him tell stories about the Queen and other royals all day
thank you Arianna
Me too, Darren's stories are so entertaining. You can tell he enjoyed his time as a royal chef👩🍳
I saw someone comment on one of his other videos " This guy still cant believe he cooked for the Royal Family" lol. He gets so excited retelling stories.
I want him as my grandpa
Arianna Alonso If he has any stories about Princess Diana, I would love to hear them!
Everyone’s favorite quarantine entertainment
Werner Rezvani i guess its true
Nope
Werner Rezvani you be spittin facts tho.
I've been watching these for months. But can we please try to not refer to the current situation every chance we get? Not everything is about virus-this and quarantine-that. I'm not trying to downplay anything. Just saying we should at least be able to get a well-deserved break from all this on RUclips without the constant need for hashtag-buzzwords.
YES!
In this quarantine all I want is to be Royal.
You're gonna have a lot of things to sort through
@@ILoveManCity. Prince Charles has been out if self isolation for a few weeks now.
All of do except you know who.
You never will be ESPADA YOU DOSSER.
De St I just want chocolate in general
After watching this on RUclips the queen is probably thinking about hiring him again
He may of quit
he still works for the queen
gamerOmemer no, he doesn’t. He is a former Royale Chef, in other words, he previously worked for the Queen.
I’m pretty sure he moved to the us, and he can’t cook for her from all the way over there
Why was he fired/why did he quit?
So.. they’ve done so many of these now, and you’d think it get’s old, but just like the queen, these videos will never get old.
Best profile pic ever
Protein ha
Absolutely
Their never get old when someone is euthisastic with their subject and has plenty of inside historical side stories to add to the experience.
But she is old
i love this man and his stories of the royal family
aww thank you
4:28 The Queen is staring at that chocolate very intently, LOL. She’s a choco-holic like many of us. 🍫 😍🥰😋
She must be a dark chocolate fan, I do admit that type is so rich and good, but my bros like the milk which is Meh to me. I wonder which brand if she tries the already made candy, she likes the best? Oh the coincidence if its Godiva chocolates.😊
Indeed she is! I’m also a chocoholic, and I love every type of chocolate there is, but milk is my favorite by only a hair.
I like dark chocolate the best, milk chocolate is good too but depends on the brand
@@kiwifruit8220 😎 b Kindred tastes.
I uate chockolate
*_I can imagine the Queen's cackle as he runs away_*
*laughs poshly*
I was here before, and now I'm here after the Queen's passing, because I wanted to watch him make her favorite dessert 👑 🍓🍰
So can we get a video of what king Charles eats?
I love this man, i can watch him talk and cook for hours, HE NEEDS HIS OWN COOKING SHOW.
Thanks Paola
Paola Monique agreed
Yes!!
Agreed!
He’s pretty busy with his catering company in Dallas Texas
I love this man’s stories. So calming.
What I love about Royal British cuisine is that it's not overly complicated, anyone could make these things at home. It's really about preparing fresh, seasonal food in a simple but elegant way.
The best stories start with “I was on a walk”
This guy knows how to live life to the fullest. He finds joy in the little things :(
Plot twist: He's no longer her chef because he gave her strawberries in january
XD
@@c41uz in the video at 3:35
Ur welcome
Im about to say the same thing😂😂😂
XD
and because he stirred the chocolate cake with his hands
Mann this chef needs to be a history teacher
1:50 Subtitles: ..that royal produce and she can order (Speaking french)
Me: Ah yes, I too love to order speaking french.
Doesn't he just say foie gras?
Yes
Speaking French is one of my favorite dishes. I think the Queen and I (and it seems you also, Penguin Lord - btw, my penguins send their regards. They’re all Emperor Pingus, but enjoy meeting all levels of pingu nobility. Napoleon says the Lord Penguins are the most fun to party with outside of the Emperors!) could happily share a meal of Speaking French together.
You can make a Union Jack just by adding some blueberries. The Queen definitely well love it
Or Her Majesty would have him sent to the Tower to be flogged.
Union flag* it's only called the Union Jack when at sea
His stories are so interesting to listen to, and it’s sounds like a adventure being a royal servant.
I absolutely LOVE Darren's personality. What an amazing person and accomplished chef! His positivity is so contagious.
aww thank you
he sounds like he enjoyed his time as a royal chef so much
When he said “off with ya head” I believed him
No he was lying or joking.
@@NicholasOctober2008 just like she isn’t the cause of Diana’s death?🤨
The Queen reminds me of my grandmother, in a way. My grandma was very fond of seasonal produce, and didn't like foods from outside of season because they never quite had the same taste.
i just love how old these traditions are. it’s really really special
All I want to do in this quarantine is to watch chef Darren's AMAZING recipes and listen to his AWESOME and fun stories😊😊
aww, thank you Door
Darren McGrady your awesome
1:50 Subtitles: "and she can order (speaking French)"
11/10 captions right there
the people doing subtitles obviously knows nothing about french cuisine lol
It's so nice to hear him sharing memories of the royals while he's preparing these beautiful dishes. It puts a smile on my face.
I never knew how important providing for her own table was to the Queen. Charles seems to be continuing that with organic foods. Thinking back on history, hunts on the grounds were very important to the royals (and those invited) Providing a feast for your guests from the grounds goes back centuries. I just never realized the current Queen’s (and future King’s) desire to continue that long tradition. That is so much more fascinating than ordering caviar!
What is described about eating foods in their proper season and enjoying certain seasonal dishes was very much my late mother’s attitude about food.
I find the pic of the queen at 7:25 so entertaining. She just looks like a random grandma someone took a picture of out in a park.
she looks exactly like my grandma
20% of the UK : Food please
The Queen : Haha cake machine go brrr
Le Marquis de la Bougade I don’t know why but this is making me laugh really hard! 😆
Œf
Clearly she hasn’t learnt from Marie Antoinette 😂
@@callong8000 well, the uk does'nt have a robespierre
@@iffahnurdian for now
What's impressive when you're rich but normal when you're poor? Serving stuff from your garden that you picked yourself. I like the Queen but it's hillarious.
its more surprising than impressive really, shes the fucking queen, no one would expect a royal to do anything by themselves because we think of royalty as lazy fucks that dont run countries and live in luxuary
You need a land to grow a garden. It’s very naive of you to assume that “serving stuff from your own garden” is for the poor. Also, a garden/farm need A LOT of maintaining. Anyone who can grow their own garden, including royalty, has my respect.
Right???? "She was into fresh produce before anyone else was." Wait... what? LOL
@@FuriedHearts he meant before it became a trend amongst other people. not to the ones who made a living off of (or just so happen to have enough land to maintain a garden) their land
@@YuanCrossXIII the video said she "picked up" the berries. Do you think she even does the plowing and planting the seed?
Let's be honest, everybody came for the stories.
Good episode, please continue with the fine ones from the great Royal Courts. Hunt and Shooting related food from the Palace would be fine to see also.
I love that idea
I could listen to him talk all day. What a great story teller and that dessert looks amazing
Honestly these stories and watching him cook gives me life
Never stop making these videos
I absolutely ADORE this Chef! He's so funny 😂
WE NEED MORE OF THIS MAN!
Such a delicious and entertaining baking lesson with a touch of history! Thank you, Darren
my pleasure
my grandmothers friend actually used to make the queen's birthday cake. all her bakes were BOMB
Here’s the recipe from his website
Framboises St Georges
1 quart fresh raspberries, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract paste
Whipped cream
Puree half (2 cups) of the fresh raspberries to a pulp. Strain them through a fine sieve to remove all seeds. In a large bowl whip the heavy cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff. Without over beating, carefully fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream mix and set aside.
In the rectangular serving dish arrange the remaining fresh raspberries side by side so as to make a large red cross in the dish. Lay another layer of raspberries on top. Divide the raspberry fool into the four corners of the dish taking care not to disturb the raspberry cross in the center. Using a spatula smooth the fool until each of the four quarters are flat.
Place additional whipped cream in a piping bag with a star tube. Highlight the whole raspberry cross by piping small rosettes of cream along each sides of the cross.
Lovely idea of the Queen picking raspberries. Thank you!
You don't half know, how relaxing it is to listen and watch this man :)
I think that is why the Queen is 94 yrs old and in good shape. She eats fresh and no preservatives.
I love the adjectives he chooses before each food item.
I appreciate how this man does it have one single complaint about anything to do with the queen and has positive things to say about everything he did
Afternoon tea for the queen for the next video please.
That's a great idea!
Such a beautiful dessert! I’m drooling just seeing it. I get how Queen Elizabeth feels about having dishes made from produce grown straight from the gardens. I like to use the raspberries grown from my garden in summer dishes. And the stories are amazing too! Now it makes me wonder what was Princess Margaret’s favorite dishes.
Being a royal chef sounds so fun! Definitely one of my dream jobs now.
Why does it sound so wholesome when he was talking about how much the Queen loves to eat little sweets, chocolates, and berries
There's something almost magical thinking about these wonderfully old estate's with stunning grounds and meals fit for a Queen produced right there.
The best chef storyteller in one!!!
aww thank you Jean
Love the stories that you tell along with the lovely recipes. Thank you for sharing 🤩🙏
I never want this series to stop 😭
more to come
"Off with your head if you bring me fruit that's out of season"
oof that's a total mood. There's nothing worse than sour berries in fall or winter. Not good for anything but making dry mead. Even then it would be really gross cause there's not enough sugar content.
Stop being a snob & come back down to earth.
We make something similar in the summer here in the US. It is decorated with cream and fresh berries in the shape of the American flag. Delicious and refreshing.
USA! USA! USA!
Bruh
@Chase Mcdude ain't much freedom with Covid
@Jacob Terry What do you mean yikes? Are some of us not allowed to be supportive of where we come from??
Must look awful in an American flag 😂
Darren McGrady isnt just the Royal Chef. He knows way much more about the historic background of some dishes than anyone else. And he also shares his happy memories with thenRoyal,family with us. Those glimpses behind the scenes are real treasures for me. Additionally this video beings back happy memories of berry days to me: with my mom as a child and later on with my own children. We looked the same mess. The kitchen was sticky and red spotted all over. But it was worth it to have home made jam for,the winter.
No one:
The Queen: mmm berries
0:33 You could see on the little picture too.
I thought that was what he was pointing at until they zoomed in on the collar.
Oh, to be a royal corgi on a walk with the queen 😌
I honestly live for Darren McGrady and his stories
aww thanks Bethany
I was just looking for videos from the former queen of the chef and waiting for a new update in so glad it came!
Honni soit qui mal y pense is French, not Latin.
I was just about to make the very same comment ;)
No it is not. "Y" does not exist in french.
@@osloguide5711 Yes it does, it is an adjunct meaning "there".
What would he know ?
Anyway, his only income comes from his capacity at dropping names !
@@garreynphilippe4346 Who hurt you
Happy birthday Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth♥️♥️♥️♥️
I could listen to Darren tell stories while he cooks all day :’)
Man I could watch this all day long. He's so calm, humble and the background informations are fascinating. Please keep up the good work!
aww thank you
This gentleman is so lovely 😊 I love listening to his stories and voice, I'm English myself but I could honesty listen to him all day 💕
aw thanks Jo Jo
Chef McCready is just what we need during this pandemic!
yay! always look forward to his videos❤️🤗
Literally could watch this guy all day.
omg the corgi story 😭
This is my favorite. I love fruity desserts. So nice to see she picked berries too
Love your stories and recipes! you seem like someone so nice to talk to
I just love this chef, his cook and overall his stories! They are absolutely great! Brilliant 👏👏
thank you
Prince Phillip and Prince Harry (obviously Diana too) always seemed the most down to earth and good people in the royal family.
When the plebs revolt the first thing they will raid is the raspberry patch.
Rubbish we grew all our fruit n veg when I was a kid. Everyone did any bit of ground or tubs grew veg we all had to help even today 2021 my 2 daughters share an allotment
@@marleneclough3173 well i guess i just wasnt rich enough like you to be able to get an allotment...
Maybe you are too lazy it actually is quitehard work but very satisfying growing your own food
@@marleneclough3173 im sure her majesty is on her knees planting and digging....
Hearing his stories makes me wanna work there too, feeling so warm n fuzzy 🥺✨❤️
I can’t get enough of these!!!
8:25 "Let's do... an Eton Mess"
Subtitles: (mumbling)
quality entertainment right here
I absolutely love the Royal family. Cheers from across the pond.
It is amazing how with just 2 ingredients, they are transformed into such a pretty and delightful dessert 😋
@Gi Gi icing sugar?
I don’t know, the wild raspberries we have in Northern Ontario are pretty darn good.
I agree, J Ren, Northern Ontario wild berries are fab, my favourite being the blueberries, none better.
I'm up for all of Darren vs Royal corgis saga
I just sometimes wanna have some tea and biscuits with Chef Darren and just talk about the royal family all day
I love these royal videos! They've been so much fun to watch!
thank you
Excellent chef; excellent storyteller. Really love this series. 👍
Just find out that he made his own channel! I really enjoy this series!
I love the fact that he's telling varius fantastic stories while cooking something really simple, i think that this is a perfect combination of a good cooking video =D
thank you
Wild raspberries here in Northern British Columbia are amazing for deserts aswell. Very subtle flavours with nice aromas, and they're dry. They don't bleed their colour as much as say a nova berry.
This is great content!!
Me “I’m ordering pizza because I enjoy it”. The queen “ I’m getting some peaches from Windsor because I enjoy them” FML
Got to assemble these into a playlist and binge them.
Let me know which on is your favorite Matt
My daughters,husbands father used to be a guard at Buckingham Palace.He loves his royals,he defends them tooth and nail lol
I’d love to try some “speaking French” I bet it would be so tasty!
Imagine your a gardener in 5:30 and you saw a large formation of chefs in bicycles hurrying to the berry fields
He needs to have his own RUclips channel. He's so entertaining to watch!!
We NEED more of these!
