I am Darren McGrady, The Royal Chef. I have cooked for Kings, Queens, Presidents and celebrities all around the world. Now I get to share those stories and dishes with you here on this channel.

If you are a fan of everything Royal, then I’ll be dishing on food favorites from my fifteen years rattling pans in the royal kitchens as chef to The Queen, Princess Diana and Princes William and Harry.

If you just love food, then you will love the dishes I prepare from elaborate menus for entertaining to simple TV dinners and sharing tips and stories along the way to keep it fun!

Starting out in my commercial kitchen in Dallas I’ll be checking out food halls and markets, what to buy, what not to buy, what’s good and what not but always putting my royal chef twist on all the dishes I prepare.

Subscribe to my channel, come along for the virtual ride and join me “Rattling pans around the world.”

Sad news today hearing of the passing of Prince Philip. From the first time I met him as a young chef in the palace kitchens and mistook him for the gardener to the last time I cooked for him and he stole my lamb chops I loved cooking for him and I will be doing a YouTube video tribute soon of his favorite dishes, sharing my interactions and memories of him. RIP Your Royal Highness and may God have a BBQ grill for you to cook on in heaven.

The Crown (season 4) starts today and covers Princess Diana and her struggle with Bulimia. I cooked for her during the 'dark years' and also once she got her life back on track. My next video shares her happier times, eating healthy and fooling Prince's William and Harry at the same time :) Subscribe to my channel for an alert when the video is released.

If you fancy a break from the delicious Texas peaches you might grab a pound or six of cherry plums. Just in season for a short while these beauties are tart as a cherry, sweet as a plum and absolutely delish right now. Perfect for pies, tossing on the grill to brighten up a pork loin or au nature in front of the tv spitting the stones at the dog...Grab some today!
