Queen Camilla’s son has shared the peculiar story behind one Royal Family dessert. Tom Parker Bowles, 50, recounted an incident involving the late Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother which led to a bout of ‘certain amount of panic’ at Clarence House.
Their beloved chef Alma McKee found herself in quite the situation after serving a meat course for lunch but completely forgetting about dessert. Rushing around for ingredients, she didn’t know what to do next, until she stumbled upon a few bananas.
n his book, ‘Cooking & The Crown’, Tom penned: “The meat course had gone up, when she suddenly realised there was no pudding. I can remember there was a certain amount of panic about what to do next. Save, that is, for a few bananas.”
Nicknamed ‘Bananes au Caramel’, this simple yet delicious creation by Alma requires just bananas, caster sugar, butter, golden syrup, and a helping of double cream. For those eager to taste Royal indulgence, Tom outlines the process.
