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.
