The coronation quiche recipe was shared to encourage people to participate in community parties happening throughout the coronation weekend. After King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, are crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, celebrations will continue into the following day as citizens across the U.K. gather with neighbors for the Coronation Big Lunch.

As patron of the project, Queen Camilla has attended the community lunches across the U.K. and around the world, including Ghana and Barbados, the palace said.

Seventy years ago, a special recipe was released forQueen Elizabeth’scoronationin 1953: coronation chicken! According to theRoyal Family, the spicy dish was invented to feed foreign guests after the crowning ceremony.

Coronation chicken was the brainchild of royal florist Constance Spry, who “proposed a recipe of cold chicken in a curry cream sauce with a well-seasoned dressed salad of rice, green peas and mixed herbs.” The dish was a hit and has been served in British kitchens since.

Cordon Bleu graduate Angela Wood is credited for perfecting the coronation chicken recipe and got to meetQueen Elizabethat a Platinum Jubilee kickoff reception at Sandringham in February 2022. Coronation chicken vol-au-vents were also served at the party.
