Queen Camilla may have dined at some of the finest establishments in the world, but she also knows her way around a kitchen.<\/p>\n
Back in 2013 the now Queen visited Godolphin Junior School in Slough where she launched\u00a0British Food Fortnight’s Bring Home the Harvest project.<\/p>\n
Annika Matharu, eight, and Imaan Ganimusa, 11, asked the royal if she grows her own food and what her favourite vegetable is.<\/p>\n
The savvy gardener replied: “Yes I do, we grow all our own vegetables. I think my favourites are broadbeans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“But I’ll tell you what I really like, I like peas straight from the garden.”<\/p>\n
