Queen would have 'thrown the book' at royal chef for suggesting one meal

Former Royal chef Darren McGrady has dished out that the late Queen Elizabeth would have "thrown the book at him" had he dared to propose just one meal option.

Despite their efforts, some dishes didn't quite make the cut, with the chef humorously remarking that the Queen might "throw the menu book at him" for suggesting something too outlandish.
