The Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge may have a personal chef to cater their family’s meals, but
the down-to-earth family also likes to keep things simple at home by cooking
themselves.
Mother-of-three Catherine has
previously spoken of her passion for home-cooking and enjoys getting her
children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis involved
too. Prince William has also commented on his cooking skills in the past,
though they’re arguably nowhere near as advanced as Duchess Kate’s!

Pizza
Making!
Making pizzas from scratch is
lots of fun and the Cambridge children enjoy it too. During an outing to St
Luke’s Community Centre in London, Kate revealed how her kids love creating
their own pizzas.

Speaking to a member, Yolanda
from Bolivia, Kate said: “I’ve done that with George and Charlotte –
making pizza dough. They love it because they can get their hands messy.”
Turning to an interpreter, she
continued: “I was just saying I really enjoy making pizza dough with
George and Charlotte because they like getting their hands messy.”
William’s
Steak
Dad William spoke about his
culinary skills in 2017, explaining: “I do like cooking, but I’m
not very good.”
During his visit to the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the royal revealed that his signature dish
is steak but he struggles to cook it for the right amount of time.
“I get really worried
about cooking it – I hate over-cooking steak,” he said. “I like
it medium-rare, so quite alive.”

Baking
Cakes
When mum-of-three Kate
appeared alongside TV cook Mary Berry in A Berry Royal Christmas in
December 2019, the Duchess revealed her passion for baking birthday cakes for
her children.
Kate said: “I love making
the cake. It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ’til midnight
with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I
love it.”

Roast
Dinners
Everyone loves a tasty,
comforting roast dinner, don’t they? Well, the Cambridges sure do.
In 2012, royal correspondent
Katie Nicholl told Vanity Fair of the Duchess: “In the
evenings she indulges her hobby of cooking William’s favourite supper, roast
chicken.”
