MAY 14 — Angela Wood proudly recalls the poached chicken in creamy curry sauce recipe that she helped create for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, and which has since become a British culinary classic.
Wood was only 19 when, as a student at the renowned Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Winkfield, near Windsor, west of London, she was asked to perfect a recipe created by the school’s director, Constance Spry. “Knowing that it was going to be foreign dignitaries from all over the world, she decided that it had to be slightly spicy but not over spicy,” she told AFP.
Wood showed AFP the original recipe, published in an old edition of the British gastronomic classic “The Constance Spry Cookery Book”. The dish was described on the banquet menu, written in French, as “Poulet Reine Elizabeth” and was served to the 350 foreign guests with a rice salad containing peas and herbs.Strawberry galette was served for pudding, all washed down with Moselle and Champagne wines.Wood never pursued a professional career as a cook, and instead ran the family farm after she got married.
