I prefer Turkey Tikka Masala, which involves chopping up any leftover turkey when you're sick of eating it cold with chips or in sandwiches or toasties or sprinkled on a pizza, and dumping a jar of tikka masala sauce over it. Eat one serving each, then either freeze the rest in case of famine or pass it on to someone who didn't get xmas dinner.

Planning on rock climbing in Scotland on the kings coronation. You've reminded me to pack a coronation chicken sandwich for the lunch.

Max, your cookbook was delivered the day before the release date and I have read and looked through it a few times. I'm so happy you included the historical narrative with each recipe as well as a picture of the historical recipe. The list of ingredients that are not common today placed at the beginning of the book is a brilliant idea so after going through them we have a point of reference when they show up in a recipe and we can quickly flip to them. The Index at the back is very thorough. True to Max Style. Some recipes stand out as "Max's style" as well, very fun. Your cookbook is as entertaining as you are. Thank you.

Try visiting a gurdwara or Krishna temple and tell me the food they serve you is "tailored toward the British palate". And coronation chicken isn't a curry, hence "real curry".

As an aside. When Coronation chicken was made, in actuality over 7,870 tonnes(!) of the stuff was made. The British have been going at a steady pace over the past 70 years and there is now only about 8 lbs. left in the entire country. I understand they are FINALLY whipping up a new batch for the new King's Coronation! (Joke people but I always wanted to play around with a fantastic dish!)

Sad here in the UK, though I pre-ordered the book back in October it isn't being released until June. Hope everyone is enjoying their copies. Do like a coronation chicken salad or sarnie. I like both the original version & the 1970's take with flaked almonds & raisins. Though I do leave out the coriander/cilantro as it just tastes of soap to me. Poached chicken is a much unsung dish, I often do a whole chicken in my pressure cooker, or do it gently in milk. Poached chicken is just so succulent.

Add the almonds, ditch the raisins.

My grandmother made this all the time growing up. Its such a wonderful dish and its so natural to my life.

Your cookbook arrived last week and it's just beautiful! Wonderfully written, with gorgeous photos! I hope you have a grand time on your tour.

while traveling in Scotland in 2017, my favourite thing to get was Coronation Chicken Baked Potato. I've been wanting to recreate it at home so much!

Actually sounds really good! I might make coronation chicken baked sweet potato!

Thank you so much! I was going to make "Coronation Chicken" for the occasion and all the recipes I found had an abundance of "sweet" to them. THIS is what I remember my mother making (every spring) - and now I can as well.

When I was working in England, you could get sandwiches in a Starbucks - some very strange sandwiches, like cucumber and corn in a shrimp mayonnaise - but, one I always got was the coronation chicken sandwich - For a massed produced sandwich, it was very good - tasted like shredded chicken with a mustard sauce - I guess that was the curry and spices in the sandwich - it was very good, not always available, but I would get it every time 🙂

I actually came up with my own coronation chicken salad recipe a few years ago. Based off of all of the recipes I looked into. And my husband LOVED it. I served it with crispy chicken skin. It was really good. So I'm definitely trying out this authentic version. I probably should have done that 1st.

Congratulations on the cookbook! I will try this chicken dish. George IV was quite the dandy. Very stylish, with expensive tastes and expensive friends, and always in debt. He was estranged from his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales, right from the wedding. Their daughter, Princess Charlotte of Wales, was much beloved by the people, from an early age--the Princess Diana of her time. Sadly, died tragically in childbirth before she could assume the throne.

King Charles' coronation food dish is called Coronation Quiche. He really likes eggs and cheese, so someone created a dish like that for him. It also has spinach, broad beans, and fresh tarragon. I am really looking forward to the Ceremony and celebration on May 6.

@@ragnkja My maternal grandfather was the son of Norwegian immigrants. My mom would put cucumbers in vinegar and water with a few onion slices and let them soak for a day or so and she said that her dad used to do that. It's possible there was some sugar in them. I'll have to ask her how her dad did it. While it shouldn't surprise me that some of the things my mom served us have Norwegian influence, it's always interesting to hear where things came from, as my grandfather never taught his kids any Norwegian (even though he spoke it and studied it in school) and he died many years before I was born, so there's a bit of a disconnect on what came more directly from Norway and what just came via my mom growing up in Wisconsin (where a lot of Scandinavian immigrants ended up).

I love your program and your book! When I read it I can hear your voice telling each historical segment.

When I make fried rice, my secret ingredient is adding rice wine to the cooking chicken along with the other ingredients I use to make the sauce (soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, five spice, some chili powder, garlic and ginger, and sometimes I'll throw in other spices for fun). It makes it so tender. So I wouldn't be surprised if your poached chicken turned out so well because you're cooking it in wine.

Another great video! I started watching your videos on the recommendation of my cousin and have been hooked ever since. Since then, my 10 year old daughter has also grown to love watching and trying many of the recipes. Thanks so much for all the work and research you put into each of these videos!

As a classic French trained chef a bouquet garni traditionally consists of thyme, peppercorns Bay parsley, sandwiched between two pieces of leek and tied with butchers twine to keep together however, for this recipe, you could totally use a poultry herb mix sandwich between leek

You can get this in any supermarket in the UK. Either as premade sandwiches or just on its own, so you can make your own sandwiches or salads with it. The premade sandwiches skimp out on the filling, so best to spend an extra minute putting it together yourself. It's interesting to see it as a main meal with rice because the modern incarnation is pretty much a ready-made convenience food.
