Son of Queen Camilla, Tom Parker Bowles, joins Gabby this week to talk about his career as a food writer, turning 50, and why he considers long lunches to be one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Tom shares some of his earliest food memories of his mother’s home cooking, why the dining table has always been so important to him and his family, and why he believes food is endlessly fascinating and has always been political. They also discuss what it was like for him growing up within a family in the glare of the media spotlight, how our relationship with our parents changes as we age, and how hangovers have become much more “psychological” as he’s gotten older!
As well as diving deep into his book Cooking and the Crown - an exploration of royal food - and the inspiration behind his new podcast Intoxicating History, Tom gives us an insight into Christmas celebrations with the King and Queen.
