Tom Parker Bowles shares royal recipes inspired by Camilla's cooking

Tom Parker Bowles, a restaurant critic and food writer, has recently published a collection of royal recipes titled 'Cooking & the Crown.' This book reflects his experiences growing up with his mother, Queen Camilla, who is known for her cooking, particularly shepherd's pie and roast chicken. During an interview at the Soho restaurant Quo Vadis, Parker Bowles discussed his culinary upbringing and the influence of his mother's cooking on his life. He also touched on his political views, asserting that he identifies as more left-leaning than some might assume. The conversation was intended to be formal, but Parker Bowles expressed a desire to follow it up with a more relaxed, off-the-record lunch, highlighting the blend of personal and professional aspects of his life as a food critic. This publication not only showcases royal culinary traditions but also offers insights into the personal life of a member of the royal family, revealing how family and food intertwine in their lives.
