    I’m a Brit who also moved to the US... The sad break in your voice just got me, when you talked about your decision re what to do after Diana died. You could tell you were heartbroken. But also had so much respect for the Queen and Prince Philip, too. I bet they all loved you. Such a genuine man. And Darren, don’t let anyone tell you that you ramble on. You don’t at all. You have just the right blend of narrative vs instruction. Your stories are so personal, yet never become about you. This week must be very hard for you, given your memories. We all have wonderful memories of people we worked with or for - irrespective of their status in life. Thanks Darren.

      If you ramble, you're a Ramblin' Rose of a man! You're so EASY to listen to, WONDERFUL to watch, and the love of your craft is VERY OBVIOUS, as is the knowledge and SKILLS that you carry with it....ignore negative comments like that! Every ROSE has it's thorns, but who wants to not have a ROSE, thorns or not...thorns are for the protection of one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL of FLOWERS, Darren! Keep up the GOOD WORK!

      Chef love your YT page, love seeing you cook and hearing the stories about the royal family. Darren if we ever get to Dallas, can I pay you to make that most awesome meal, you reference it as one of the queens favorite(filets, pan seared with a mushroom/brandy(or whisky) reduction sauce. 😉, I watched you make on another video and I just think it looked amazing. And if it’s a Queens favorite, it has to be good!
      No stag though, am American so will stick with beef filet hehe
      God bless you sir.
      Ps is it impossible to get cream heee in the US anything like that made at Windsor? I can’t find cream to cook and bake with anything as good as that in the U.K.

      Its a common misconception that Indian food is all about the mainstream menu available in restaurants like tikka, butter masala..... But, at home we don't cook them often.. Its always simple, less spicy and comforting..😊

    I am glad you answered the question about does the Queen order fast food. Your answer for the most part makes sense, their are plenty of Royal chefs waiting to prepare whatever she desires. The reason I also found that answer interesting is because it is known through interviews or discussions that the Queen's Parents George VI and Elizabeth did order in fish and chips from fish and chips shops under false names/address. Princess Elizabeth and Margaret would have also eaten this. I am not 100% certain if this only happened when he was the Duke of York but I seem to recall reading about this being done while he was King. The Palace probably had even more chef's back then than they do now but sometimes you just want a take away meal.

I have been entertaining myself at the stove with you as the coach! (However, I don't feel the least bit confined; I love being at home in my kitchen more than anything else in the world!) You have the sweetest personality so I know you simply must have a recipe that features honey as the leading character! Can you guess that I am an apiarist? (That's a 'fancy-smancy' way of saying I am a bee keeper.) I would be ever so grateful for a dish or culinary use of honey that I could pass on to my customers at the local market...giving you full credit, of course. If I ever get to Dallas, I will certainly seek out your restaurant! Love your videos and will certainly be seeking out a copy of your cookbook.

    I just have a couple of issues with your fish and chips.
    1. Batter doesn't need egg
    2. Use ale rather than larger
    3. The batter needs to be a bit thicker to protect the fish and stop it drying out
    4. Lower the fish into the oil slowly, thick end first or it will stick to the basket. In fact take the basket out. It's not needed.
    5. Salad cream?
    Thanks for the video. 😁

    The Queen _did_ cook breakfast in their flat at Buckingham Palace for Philip once - widely known. 😐

    When truffle hunting I always seem to destroy them. I must be using the wrong gauge of shotgun.

    Hello Darren, i'm from the Netherlands and i was wondering if you ever experienced some dutch 'cuisine'? I think the queen would have enjoyed some of the traditional stuff.

      I have a question for you! I went to the Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan, which features all sorts of things "Holland", festival food being no exception. They were selling something called "Fatballs" (a deep fried puffy pastry, filled with a sort of cream or custard, however my internet research says they are supposed to be filled with raisins). I was wondering if this was something authentic or an American invention. (A diet buster, to be sure, but wickedly good!)

      Darlene Bradley nice question! We eat them both with or without raisins. Custard or whipped cream are both options, I like mine with cherries and whipped cream. Most traditional though is with raisins and powdered sugar. We call them ‘oliebollen’ and it’s a tradition to eat with New Years. I hope this answered your question :)

      @@ellen2339 Thank you, Ellen! I didn't expect such a prompt response! My little trip to Holland, Michigan, was a sort of pilgrimage in honor of my paternal grandmother whose forebears came to the U.S. (Michigan, to be exact) from the Netherlands. She made several trips to the Tulip Festival -- it was the only place to which she made repeat trips and it was a wonderful experience. I have a pair of wooden shoes I purchased there, as a souvenir, and a Delftware cream pitcher which I use still. I someday hope to travel to the real Netherlands. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question!
