Eat, drink and be merry! That’s a great practise to follow all year round. At Christmas time, it’s even more meaningful. I am a true Royalist and love any view into their lives outside of the public. Over the years, royal chefs have shared some favourites to give us inspiration to try at home. Ever want to make Christmas pudding? The recipe was posted on the Royal Family’s official Instagram account @theroyalfamily, along with a step-by-step how-to video.

On Christmas Day, reheat your pudding in a bain-marie for 3-4 hours. Remove from the basin using a rounded knife or palette knife, flip out onto a plate, garnish or flambé and serve with brandy sauce and cream.
