July 14th
Collin College, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano TX
75074
Social time begins at 09:30 am, meeting at 10:00.
 Royal Cooking with Chef Darren McGrady
If it hadn't been for one of the world's most famous
break-ups in recent history, Darren McGrady wouldn't have become Lady
Diana's personal chef. Every cloud has a silver lining!
McGrady first worked at Buckingham Palace as a junior cook just
after Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles in 1982 and later he
traveled the world with Queen Elizabeth and the royal family. When
Charles and Diana divorced ten years later, McGrady was asked to be the
princess' personal chef. Darren has cooked for four U.S.
Presidents as well as hundreds of the world's royals. Currently,
Darren is cooking up tasty royal meals for a family in Dallas, as well
as recently appearing on CNN's Larry King Live, CBS Early Show, Good
Morning Texas and SKY television and radio in England and across Europe.
Join NFGP at the July Program meeting where world
renowned Chef Darren McGrady will give us a glimpse into the lifestyles
of the rich and famous as he relates tales of Buckingham Palace,
explains the royal cooking methods and dishes up some of his favorite
royal recipes. After the demonstration, he will also be signing
his cookbook, Eating Royally - Recipes and Remembrances from a Palace
Kitchen, available for purchase.
Collin College, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway. East of 75
