Thank you for the amazing comments. It’s such a pleasure working with Delish and sharing recipes and remembrances with you
Darren McGrady thank you Chef Darren for being so charming. We love your recipes and adore your stories!!!
Your series is such a pleasure to watch. Great food and wonderful stories.
Chef Darren won’t you get a tv show please? We’d watch that!!
I must admit, even I had an "Oh s***." expression on my face when you told us what happened at that dance. ^^
☺️
Poor guy he messed up every time he met someone 😂
He only made it with Diana 😆
lol so true!
Queen: Chased by royal corgis
Prince Philip: Thought he was the gardener
Prince Charles: Scraped the back of his leg.
Harry and William: Their mom walked in on him letting the kids cook eggplant and turned it into eggSPLAT.
Sounds like a great premise for an autobiography. "Royal Pains in the British Royal Kitchens" by Darren McGrady. XD
@@brandimullins8813 Reading your comment tells me two words about Darren - Humble and honest. :)
@Carl Stirling Delicious, especially with bechamel sauce.
Brandi Mullins omg lol
I'm not even really interested in the Royal Family but I could listen to this man tell stories all day. He's captivating and has a pleasant manner about him.
Hello my friend how are you doing?
Darren's the grandpa everyone wants. Good cook, lots of stories to tell, kind, passionate
Lies again? Polite Chef Age Gap
Он талант
Я ему очень благодарен
Definitely give him his own show! He’s such a natural storyteller😊
@@josephanthonytorres4049 You're just interested in another chef because they cook for the Kardashians. How about Gordon Ramsay?
He has his own channel now!!! Darren McGrady Channel :))
He has his own channel as a matter of fact he commented one comment under youres
AGREED, im not into the Royal family or anything but I love his storys. Very pleasant man to listen to and watch cook. highly relaxing.
Cupholder19 more of a bullshit waffler to be honest
This chap should get his own Netflix series. I would definitely watch it
you could call it, "How I have licked the arseholes of the Royal sloths for 10 years and they still don't know who I am"
He has a CZcams channel under “Darren Mcgrady”
mal big You seem a pleasant chap.
what Netflix....he should cook for an country pub...
Honestly
As an italian cook i must say this is the first english chef who really understood how to cook a perfect risotto.
authentic always deserves thumbs up
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on CZcams
Darren: Risotto
Hell's Kitchen contestants: *flashbacks*
"I mean, what boys don't love pizza?" Italians, Chicagoans, New Yorkers, and Detroiters: *AMEN* ;...when Peter Parker said "It's pizza time", I felt that
I feel so fancy watching this
SEEEEWW FAAAAHNSAAAAY!
Um why?
@@johnt19 only use your curled pinky to counter balance the cup otherwise it is a BIG pretentious NO NO!!
@@franmellor9843 Pretentieuse? Moi?
@@johnt19 yes you are NEW..
This guy must have upset every single member of the royal family in one way or another. What a guy, love him :)
True member of the household then :P
Like the spiteful mushroom gathering lol
Except Princess Di
I just think it's perfect he upset Prince Phillip on how he was peeling Mango's lol.
Fayt I am sure he asked for Prince Philip's permission first before he made this video.
Wow, those lamb chops looked incredible. Perfectly cooked. I love watching this guy cook and tell stories.
Never had any of this food but sure would like to try the chefs food here!
you can tell this man loves what he does so much and i love that
I love this recipe but I decided to tweak it a bit. Instead of using risotto I went with lovely ramen noodle. And I substituted the lamb with a delectable beef flavor packet that came with it. I then topped it of with a table spoon of I cant believe it's not butter. Just absolutely delicious.
bruceownsu no shit
🤣🤣🤣 I love it!
Amazing 😂👏🏻
you had me in the first half ngl
"I love this recipe, but I decided to do a completely different one"
His voice doesnt feel like he is already 70 years old.
@@yaskhan2443 well they hired him and paid him well
@@jacobcorbett3857 you know what your right I'm sorry
@@boxingexpert9065 7 quid an hour isn't a lot
Apparently he was born in 1962
He’s 70? I thought he was younger
The way he talks about the royal family, shows that he loves them
"Mummy's pinched all my mushrooms!"
OMG, for real this was the greatest comment.
I bet the Prince would have been happier living as a successful farmer than being the Prince
I think most would, simple life with lots of fulfillment.
kakuella I agree
I like to think that BECAUSE he's royalty, he has more appreciation for farming and gardening. Imagine being this huge figure even before you were conceived and having huge responsibilities thrust upon you. I could see why he sought out farming and gardening
You’d have to wonder how many successful farmers wander around everyday talking to their carrots, cabbages and potatoes.
You do understand Charles hasn’t ever done a days work in his life.
@@xk_monster Doubtful. Most of us actually have ambitions.
I love his smiley chuckle when he says, “it’s Risotto, not Risoto” I die every time. So effing cute!!!
Lisa Marie then he says tomayto loool
URWLCM beat me to that one
@@urwlcm3764 - and 'bay-zil'...
Lisa Marie That stopped me from throwing up razorblades
Well. It's Piazza, not Piazzer lol. Whilst we are revisiting grammar and pronunciation. There is no "r" at the end of piazza.
I hope they feature you in the 'CROWN' on Netflix!
i always remember what my uncle told me, a big chef is a good chef, and that dish looks delicious, certainly holds true here
I don't even like half the stuff he makes, just not my thing. But his passion for cooking, along with his memories he shares with us. Keeps me coming back to watch. Such an awesome chef!
I also have Crohn's, Celiac disease, a throat half the size it's supposed to be from scar tissue damage, & a stomach full of ulcers. So when I say I don't like the stuff. It's not madness or a lack of tastebuds. Why I said it's not my thing. But since I tried nice & not put that all in. I guess I'll put it in now.....
@@tempyst409 ignore these insensitive idiots,can understand why you don't have a liking to some foods.
Allergies or not,some people just don't like it,simple as that.
Which half?
Chief Big Bob it’s fine to have preferences, and from what I’ve seen I doubt I’d like any of that either except for maybe what he made for Prince Phillip because everything I eat is usually spicy to some degree and most British and French cuisine is very creamy and personally eating stuff that has a ton of butter and cream is repulsive to me without spices like cumin, coriander, chili pepper or turmeric
The guy still can't believe he worked for the royal family
The guy still can't believe he worked for the royal family
No wonder the Royals lived a long life their food are simple and healthy.
I'm sure having a pampered life where everything is catered to you along with never having any financial worries can't hurt either! They should try living the life of a working class person!
@@waynemerlo7448 Calm your horses there, sir.
That was the best Charles impersonation I've ever seen 😂
After watching just 3 videos I am sure, that Chef McGrady and his amazing remembrances are the best PR the Royals could possibly wish for. Honest, hilarious and overall lovely.
OH MY DEAR! Rack of lamb with wild mushroom risotto! DIVINE! Thank you! Making risotto reminds me of stirring sweet milk pudding from scratch as a kid!
Apparently prince Harry had a stash of organic produce the chef's would use when he would call them to make up some late night brownies.
Do you mean his own special parsley growing in a secret garden in the woods???
Stavros
Oh, my ! Be still, me heart ! That serving at the end, with those medium rare little ribs and that deliciously multi flavored risotto, it's more than I can bear ! But, bear it I will and I will force myself to sit up and enjoy it . You are the finest chef I've seen and I've been watching chefs cook for decades !
Such a pleasure to watch him cook. It's good to see a chef without a huge ego for a change.
He should so have his own cooking show😭😭😭 hehehe i swear i could just listen to him tell his stories for hours! (EDIT: just found out he now has his own youtube channel!! YAYY)
What is it, I couldn’t find it when I searched his name
Chacha Jones just search for “darren mcgrady channel” ☺️
Shi-Hui THANK YOU! He only has 809 subscribers, I can’t wait to see his channel grow!
@Chacha Jones, he's already almost at 2k!!!
I love how he asks you to follow him on IG at the end of the video, not at the START.
Give this guy a show! WE LOVE HIM!!! 💯
For all their differences and arguments, Charles and Diana did share a love of healthy food.
oh .
Except Diana did not love food because she was anorexic and bulimic.
@@libbyreed8588 This chef knows more about it then you and I ever will. Go look at her episode
@@libbyreed8588 Not all her life, that was courtesy of big ears!
Well, duh! They were 'supposed' to be the future king and queen (emphasis on supposed, by the way), of course they need to keep a healthy diet!
*Insists that it's pronounced rih-zott-oh*
YES DARREN, YOU GO BOY
*Says ta-may-doh*
Darren mate, what's happened?
Quite
He lives in Texas now……
Love getting to know the royals as real people through your videos with behind the scenes stories you tell.
His laugh at 5:45 is the cutest thing!!!
Another Gem from Darren. Such a natural Chef with a calm manner. No Hype here.
Stay well Darren.
Stevie in Fife.
There's something very genuine about him. I would watch him cook anything and share lovely stories.
What a kind, wholesome gentleman! No ego, no elitism.. just genuinely immersed in stories about food and the family. Never thought royalty-related content could be so normal and heartwarming!
As Italian, your description of risotto really made me smile. And so happy to hear that you like it so much.
This is one of the most interesting series ever! I need to know more! Such a good storyteller
I so love this format! He could be talking about his grandpa working the fields while cooking this dish and I'd still love it. This format is just workin for me!
As an Italian I’m so happy for these beautiful words You said to our cuisine and to our country. And the fact that the Prince loves our country too makes me feel so proud, the Italian people are always grateful when we hear these pretty words. Love your coocking show on CZcams
Rice is not Italian. Rice is Asian. Pasta is not Italian. Pasta is Chinese. Pizza is not Italian. Pizza is Mesopotamian. Educate yourself. 🇵🇭❤️🇬🇧
@@nicholassilverio2227 and? Even if you are right they became Famous in Italy because of italians so what you said has no sense you just Hating on us
I like his little giggle when he tells us how to pronounce risotto
I’m totally enchanted watching him cook and talk. I could watch him all day!
Dayummm!!! Queen ain't never givin' him the crown and he got the Rona' and she won't even let him have the mushrooms on the family property. She like "nah, kid... you messed me up with this whole Camila thing and now your son ran off to America! F*ck your mushrooms, they mine now, they were mine to begin with!"
Minted lamb rack with roast veg, peas and lightly minted gravy has always been a favourite in our house. My daughter still asks for it when she comes for tea.

While Charles III loves Italian cuisine, his mother was quite the opposite. When Elizabeth II visited Italy in October 2000, she didn't want any food with garlic in it (which is typically in an Italian dish), but that wasn't the worst part! She didn't want long pastas like spaghetti nor tomato sauce either! She destroyed the Italian spirit harder than the time her country participated in the Allied invasion of it!
What a wonderful teacher and storyteller this chef is. Also great to see one without a big ego
The Italian spirit was in the partisans fighting in the streets to take it back after Mussolini destroyed it
You're looking at Italian food through an American lens. Garlic, long pasta shapes and tomato sauce aren't as important in Italy as they are in Italian-American cuisine.
Also don't know whether she liked them or not, the reason she wouldn't have them at a formal event is that they're messy to eat, and garlic makes your breath stink.
Mate, The Prince of Wales seems like a top lad; Organic farming, painting, foraging. Real Salt of the Earth for a Royal.
@laser325 That I did not know. That's a yikes.
The prince of wales is a very simple, down to earth guy. He served in the Royal Navy with my grandfather, they shared a ship for a while. They are on a first name basis and have always stayed in touch with eachother, my grandfather and grandmother have often even bumped into charles and camilla while walking some of the famous Munroe mountains in Scotland.
I would love to see him cook with Gordon Ramsey. These 2 would cook up something amazing and tell ever greater stories
Gordon would rip him in half
@@muaythaiwarrior8604 no he wouldn't. He's only like that in American reality TV shows. If you watch his British shows he's very relaxed.
Andrew poplawski , Ideas man huh?
Gordon would be mad about how he says basil
Or Marco Pierre White
hes so wholesome its actually adorable i could listen to his storys all day
The Prince is a real gentleman, steps up when it's needed.
I just love all the Royals.
His Prince Charles impression is spot on!
Chef is amazing! Simple instructions and a casual presentation to make it accessible to everyone
On the to-do list!
You're a great chef, Darren. I love the way you say "ye-ahh (3:41)." Very posh.
Chef, when you eat the food at the end of each show, I imagine the royals doing so and relishing your great cooking 🤗
“It’s risotto not reeesoootooeee”. You tell em!!
This guys must know so much about food its incredible, food is a thing you never get bored of, always fascinating
for anyone who doubts highgrove produces amzing produce, i urge you to try the strawberry preserve, your mouth will love you forever
Love this gentleman-such a classy man. Love his stories and how he makes special meals.
This man had the most unfortunate luck when it came to meeting members of the royal family. XD
I know! Chased by the Queen's corgis, steps on the Prince of Wales' shoe, what next???
The way Darren pronounces tomato and basil tells me he has been living in America for a while. Unless he is catering to a largely American audience.
Rev. James C I thought that!
He moved to American in 1998
He did mention that the oven was at 400 degrees as well.
Yes -- I hate that - he seems to care more about his alien audience than the people who made this possible ...
@@TheMaryaBell there’s a reason he moved to America you cow
It brings me so much joy to watch this. Such a lovely man. Thank you for the video, I would like to see more of his beautiful work. Thank you for making my day brighter.
I could hear Darren tell stories all day 🥺😌
We absolutely delight in your videos, especially during these uncertain times. Thank you!
Damn right the Queen comes first!
Incredible cooking confidence. What a dish! Now I know how to make risotto and lamb racks the professional way
Thank you chef Mcrady
Not only the dishes are amazing 😉 to cook but the stories are fascinating to hear.
Hope he's doing ok right now. Get well soon, Chuckie!
i don't think i've ever clicked for a video so fast. I love hearing Darren share stories about his time working for the Firm. Absolutely fascinating

Going through the comments I realized he isn't the 'host' of this show but rather the guest. Definitely should have his own show. Incredible job done by the producer and himself
It's easy to take a look at the other videos on the channel.
This is a great PR for Prince Philip, now i appreciate the royal dude.
Prince Philip was a wonderful man. He supported his wife for over seventy years. 🖤
He didn't mention Prince Philip in this video at all. He was talking about Prince Charles.
Give him his own show he is amazing!!! I love this series
The great thing about this video is that I’ve watched so many other risotto videos and never did it right until he explained it so I love these
Now he is the king. He may come for you!!!!
2:50 AM is not the best time to watch a delicious meal being made. My hungry now! 😁😁👍👍🙏🙏
I love this gentleman. Needs his own show.
Thanks for uploading these videos during quarantine
@Darren McGrady you deserve a Master Class Sir!
Darren such a cool guy. He has his own YT channel, for those of you who didn't know. He's funny and knowlegable.
his little giggle at 5:44 🥺
Yes!!! 🤭 🙃
I'm only interested in how a chef of that level makes traditional food. I honestly don't want to hear about the royals but he is so proud of his stories that it's endearing
Mute, and watch the videos so you won't hear the stories!
What a perfection! Amazing!!Passion,dedication!passion, dedication and perseverance and the results are fantastic!!
His little giggles are so cutee
I LOVE HOW HE SOUS VIDE "AFTER" FIRST SEAR FOR FLAVOUR.
How can you not completely love him
I love listening to this chap,, he's legendary
Lovely, thank you so very much for the instruction.
I really love this series. Fantastic.
Looks absolutely delicious! I must try and make this myself.
i like Prince Charles he seems the friendly type and i like the same types of food veary disarmeing smile as well
Just WOW!!! So soothing for eyes, I am sure it will taste heavenly beautiful.
I don’t eat lamb but, I imagine this is amazing.
And then can’t say tomato
"Risotto = High maintenance but worth it." This is going to be my Tinder bio.
Thanks to your remarkable lamb carre and mushroom risotto video, I am delighted to share my two favourite culinary preps with a king. This sous vide metod seems magical.
Thank you for the wonderful video Chef!
it looks absolutely delicious !
What a great chef !
My late father was into organic farming back in the 70's. So it goes back more than 30 years!
All of the third world countries been doing organic farming for centuries.
A wonderful video! You are such a joy to watch! I love your stories! I love the Charles and Diana stories too! Much love and happy cooking!
What a joy it was watching this, great chef and just seems like a cracking fella
