A Royal Cookbook: Seasonal recipes from Buckingham Palace

Bland tasting salmon pie but lovely mince pie filling and mince pie pastry.

If you want a coffee table decoration then maybe this fits the bill. However if you want recipes this book has very few of them, and none are outstanding

The photography in this book is outstanding, so says the professional photographer in my family and I agree wholeheartedly.The main issue, of course, is the recipes and they are mouthwatering and tasty. Nice to know we are making and eating what the royal family eats.A lovely book, well priced and would suit anyone who likes to bake. A nice present to give with specialist tea or coffee.

The book is nicely presented and there are several recipes that I would like to try, but it does seem rather small and slim for the price.

Great for trying out royal versions of usual recipes, useful little book

A beautifully presented book which I will treasure. I was pleasantly surprised that it contains some attractive recipes without being too fancy. I have only tried one recipe to date - the lemon drizzle loaves. I was not disappointed and people who have eaten them have been very complementary.

Unexpected delight

This is OK but more of a trifle to flick through with a smile rather than a serious cookbook. There are some recipes that are not bad and the photography is very good, perhaps the interior shots that are shown with tables laid up with fine silver, crystal and porcelain are more interesting than the food side of things which leads me to think this book was codgered together to sell in the Royal Museums.It's an OK stocking filler for Aunties that adore the Royal Family and which can be perused on Christmas morning and imagine they too are at Sandringham.
