As a chef, working in the British royal family is the chef's lifelong pursuit. So what's the experience of cooking for the royal family?

Some British media have vomited that the salary provided by the royal family is not as good as the national average salary. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the average annual salary of British nationals in 20 18 was 29,500 pounds, which was 7,500 pounds higher than that of the assistant manager of the Queen's kitchen.

However, whatever the salary, it is an honor to serve the British royal family. You can't take this kind of porcelain-touching job without some skills.

The description of the deputy director of the royal chef in the recruitment notice is: to provide the highest level of service with professional skills. Prepare all kinds of meals in the face of various large-scale activities. The vice president will have the best ingredients and the highest level chef.

Requirements for the applicant: "As you expected, the standard here is very high and it is extremely busy every day, so you must be an ambitious and qualified chef, paying special attention to details and ensuring that meals are provided on time." The most important quality is "enthusiasm for the catering and service industries and willingness to learn new skills".

What is the experience of cooking for the Queen and her family? Two chefs who had served Queen Elizabeth were interviewed by the media and revealed their cooking experience in Buckingham Palace and the eating habits of members of the British royal family.

What's the point of being the queen's chef?

Owen Hodgson, a former royal chef who served Queen Elizabeth in the 1990s, told the Daily Telegraph that details are crucial to the Queen's cooking. For example, to make a tuna sandwich, all the bread edges are cut off and both sides are buttered. Finally, the sandwich should be cut into eight equilateral triangles when it is loaded.

Tea time, if the queen wants to eat bananas, she will never hand over a whole banana. The chef should not only peel and remove the tail, but also cut it in half vertically, then cut it into equal parts and present it with a fork.

If you think that members of the royal family can order according to their own preferences, you are wrong. In fact, everyone must eat according to the queen's preference. This also means that all meals exclude starchy foods, such as pasta, rice and potatoes, which will never appear on the royal menu. Therefore, we can see that all members of the royal family are in good condition.

In addition, chefs are forbidden to use onions because they tend to have bad breath after eating. Shellfish and seafood should also be avoided as much as possible, and the risk of poisoning is high. When chefs choose ingredients, safety and health are the primary considerations.

Mcgrady, a chef who has served the Queen of England for 1 1 years, said that working in the kitchen of Buckingham Palace feels great. The whole kitchen is so big that it takes a long time to walk back and forth. However, the kitchen is not as magnificent as expected, nor does it have the artistic sense of Buckingham Palace. The most admirable thing is the cooker. The ancient copper pots and flat-bottomed pots were arranged neatly, and the words "VR" were printed on the bottom, indicating that Queen Victoria of Britain had used them before.

Every year, the Queen goes on holiday and spends some time in royal palaces or manors, such as Dutch Palace in Scotland, Windsor Castle, Sandringham Manor in Norfolk, England and so on. Royal chefs also need to be accompanied and bring almost all the kitchen equipment of Buckingham Palace, including pots, plates, bowls and forks. McGrady said: "The food must be perfect and achieve military accuracy."

McGrady revealed that no matter how experienced a chef is, he will make some mistakes in unfamiliar places. Once the Queen was on holiday at Windsor Castle, she ordered a chocolate souffle. When McGrady's colleagues cooked in the oven, they found that Shufulei had not swollen for a long time. He didn't dare to admit to the Queen that the production of Shufulei failed. Instead, he broke the plate and lied that Shufulei fell to the ground, asking the Queen if she could replace it with ice cream, thus solving a workplace crisis.

When preparing a banquet, the chef usually shows the queen the menu arrangement three days in advance, and the queen will personally cross out some unnecessary dishes on it, and sometimes she will ask for all the dishes to be specially designated.

As a chef of the queen, the work intensity is not lower than that of a star-rated restaurant chef. According to The Sun, at least 14 British royal chefs and chefs resigned in June 20 14 because they were dissatisfied with their busy work and did not receive additional subsidies.
