The Queen has announced a very special competition ahead of her Platinum Jubilee later this year.
Her Majesty has launched a nationwide competition to find the perfect pudding that can be served for her jubilee and beyond; with the search beginning for the perfect "Platinum Pudding."
Taking to social media accounts, the Royal Family shared details of the competition. "To mark The Queen’s #PlatinumJubilee, a nationwide competition has been launched to discover the perfect Platinum Pudding recipe, to be enjoyed at Big Jubilee Lunches and by generations to come.
"Five finalists will prepare their pudding for an expert judging panel including Dame Mary Berry, Monica Galetti and Buckingham Palace Head Chef Mark Flanaghan - who has shared his top tips for entrants."
As part of the post shared on Instagram, Mark Flanagan, Head Chef at Buckingham Palace, shared some tips for the recipe. These include "keep it simple" and "think subtle and elegant."
