So the Queen pulled the biggest sickie in the week 
she looked the picture of health at the horse show

We have got a Royal Collection mug (and a Christmas ornament!) celebrating when HM became the longest reigning monarch. It was completely by accident: we were at a very nice hotel and they gave them to us, and a copy of The Telegraph! 
I would like a mug but was terrified it would break in my luggage, so I didn't buy one when I was at Windsor or Kensington Palace - I did get our Christmas ornaments though!

Where are you based, Great_Kate?
I really enjoyed the Jubilee Pudding programme they did! It was so lighthearted and it was nice that everyone was nice - which sounds silly but when they went to the professional kitchens to cook there wasnât a ridiculous time frame, they had professional chefs helping them.
I think the best cake won because she incorporated themes from the Queenâs reign which the others didnât really highlight. Though I donât think the U.K. is big on trifles but I do want to recreate it!
I thought that 10 year old boy who did a recipe inspired by Prince Philip was great!

But all my in laws are English, so we spend time there every year, and take lots of interest in how everything is going and contemplate moving regularly. Knowing the ânormalâ people obviously gives you another perspective than just reading/watching/listening to the (uk) news.

I came for a visit to UK last month all the way from California (not Montecito) to get some Jubilee gear! I got the Platinum Jubilee cookbook, the musical biscuit tin, mug + tea tin, a bigger biscuit tin from Fortnum & Mason (they also had lovely truffles for a lower price) and a few other souvenirs from Kensington Palace (those were pricey).
Some places I highly recommend are Liberty London and Fortnum & Mason. You can also get some souvenir items from Tower Bridge and Kensington Palace gift shops:
I am definitely not going to use the mug but keep it on display but the rest will be used and kept in storage.

Thanks, this has given me some ideas.

All those puddings looked great. I love lemon stuff, so I might either try the winner or get someone to make it from scratch so I can taste it! The falooda cake looked absolutely beautiful. The flowers round the outside were stunning. I cant drink real falooda because I cant eat/ drink anything if its in milk ( dont ask) so no rice pudding, no semolina etc, and the cake had the basil seeds and the vermcilli in the cream, so it was a no no!
I just checked the recipe on F&M. You can just skip the icing
and use a milk substitute perhaps? Like soy, almond or oat milk.Ooo are all the recipes on F&M?! Great!!I just checked the recipe on F&M. You can just skip the icing
Yes that one looked great and I loved how her dress matched her cake!
I think my top two would have been the passion fruit cheesecake and the trifle and I think the trifle one because it included influences about the Queen a bit more than the other which was a requirement. I think the Bundt cake didnât win because it needed to be easily replicated for the everyday cook and unless you have a fancy tin then its not as impressive. The issue I have with trifle is I never know how to serve it without it looking messy (and without creating individual trifles).
It's a texture problem in the main, so I cant have solid things in milk because it makes me throw up, and it has since I was a child. I was exempted from having lumpy custard on my pudding at school after about a week of throwing up on the table! I only stopped straining milk into my tea after I had a baby and was desensitised by baby sick. Its entirely in my headI just checked the recipe on F&M. You can just skip the icing
Great that the recipes are on the F & M website though. They looked delicious.
I feel like this writer didnât go into this bake with an open mind.

âMelvin insists that itâs fine to cheat. Buy a jar of lemon curd, a box of Italian biscuits and a tub of ready-made custard, she urges nervous cooks. To do this, however, would render the whole exercise pointless, wouldnât it? You might as well buy a Colin the Caterpillar cake from M&S and have done with it.â - Lots of people âcheatâ when they are baking, but that doesnât mean that home baking is pointless and you should just buy shop bought. I think some people are being a bit mean spirited about Jemma Melvin, the Daily Mail comments were poking fun at her weight which isnât nice at all.
Here are the recipes if anyone else is interested

She is looking very well tonight and as alert as anything.
Looks like she is enjoying it. Great show so far!
Queen's having a ball, by the looks her. Bless her!
Those drummers were amazing!

Glad to see she is not as sickly/ dying as some on here have been implying. She is frail but okay.
The Queen looks like sheâs had a fab time at the show! Absolutely loved it 
He did keep saying âyour Royal Highnessâ pretty sure itâsâYour Majestyâ but he was very funny all nightThat looked like a wave for Omid's joke on skipping the opening of parliament. I wi der was that scripted!
I liked the Azerbaijan horse show - that was fun. The end seemed a bit sombre though. I guess this will be the last Jubilee, so that hit home.

So, the Platinum Jubilee cookbook has been sold out everywhere except for Hatchards Picadilly (the one right beside Fortnum & Mason). If it's sold out online, check the 3rd floor in the Interiors section or in the first floor. It's there but you will find really hard. It's still available online: https://www.hatchards.co.uk/book/the-platinum-jubilee-cookbook/ameer-kotecha/9780993354069
I already bought the book and if you need any screenshots, I am happy to post them. It's a mix of recipes from different consulate in the Commonwealth across the world and stories about British food and cutlery brands.
Hatchards also has plenty of Jubilee/royal themed fashion and jewelry books. If you are lucky, they might have author signed editions too. https://www.hatchards.co.uk/the-platinum-jubilee

All the very best!
