Royal Chef

On July 1st, as I was getting my daily dose of Tim and Meghan on Fox Good Day, I remembered that it was Canada Day. No, it's not that they mentioned it, but they did remind us that it would have been Princess Diana's 47th birthday that day. Yes, it is weird how I know that her birthday coincided with Canada -- although, what's even more strange is that I know Pamela Anderson's birthday also falls on Canada Day.

Fox 4 mentioned Princess Diana's birthday because they had her former chef from Kensington Palace, Darren McGrady, showing how to make her favourite no-bake cheesecake. It looked so yummy that I convinced myself that I should actually look up the recipe and try it at home.

The chef himself was quite personable (ie chatty) on television, but it was difficult to decipher the recipe. So, I had to Google him and find his website, which is called The Royal Chef. Apparently he has also written a recipe book -- which I might have to search for at Borders. Look under recipes and it is listed as 'Greek Yogurt and Strawberry Cheesecake'.

The only thing holding me back from trying it this week is that we are off on a roadtrip today. Plus, it involves using a food processor. Yes, I have a strange fear of my food processor. Okay, it really is not a phobia...more like I am intimidated by my food processor. I had big plans to use it all the time, but the blades are sharp...Maybe it goes back to the time I did props for a production of 'Noises Off' and I had to pulverize a concoction of shredded newspaper, water, and whatnot every night and shape it into tiny sardines on multiple plates. All for the Theatre.
