DID SOMEBODY SAY STREET PARTY?

Up and down the land, people will be celebrating the new reign of King Charles III.

Meanwhile in at Buckingham Palace, two thousand guests will form the congregation in Westminster Abbey and eight Pages of Honour have been chosen to attend Their Majesties during the Coronation Service.

However it is the nation who will be having the biggest party; where strawberries and cream are on standby and the kettle is poised to welcome a new era.

CORONATION CHICKEN

Originally created for Queen Elizabeth ll coronation banquet in 1953, this mild curried chicken mayonnaise salad has been popular ever since! Perfect for buffets, sandwich fillings and for topping baked potatoes, it’s a simple recipe that you can prepare ahead. So, with the coronation of King Charles this month maybe it’s time to re-visit this classic?

Angela says: "I’ve adapted the original recipe slightly by replacing some of the mayonnaise with Greek-style yogurt for a lighter dressing and the addition of mango chutney gives an extra sweet and tangy flavour."
