The Crown in Vogue

Emma — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Four monarchs (crowned and uncrowned); one abdication; one royal investiture; a jewel box of jubilees and many, many royal marriages. British Vogue has borne witness to a century of royal history. Its first star photographer, Cecil Beaton, was entranced by the House of Windsor and the admiration was mutual. A younger star photographer, Antony Armstrong Jones, left Vogue to marry the Queen's sister and returned as Lord Snowdon. The Queen's cousin, Vogue's Lord Lichfield proved an insightful photographer of royal style along with many of Vogue's fashion photographers including Horst, Norman Parkinson and David Bailey. With visual treasures from Vogue's unrivalled archive and contributions through the decades from the most perceptive of royal commentators - from Evelyn Waugh to Zadie Smith - this is the definitive, authoritative portrait of royalty in the modern age.

‘LEON was the first restaurant on the high street to pay attention to a new way of eating – championing gluten-, dairy- and sugar-free food. We’ve always done it. It’s always done us and our customers good. Now it’s time to stop it being a secret.’ – John Vincent, LEON co-founder

Each recipe in this beautiful cookbook is completely gluten-, dairy- and refined sugar-free, with many following a ‘paleon’ formula (LEON’s version of Paleo). From recipes for gluten-free Spaghetti Vongole to chocolate beetroot cake, breakfast dahl to chicken and olive tagine, this book contains recipes for every meal of the day and every occasion, and proves that a free-from menu can be utterly delicious.
