It may not be the familiar British cuisine, but the pair are known to enjoy the comforts of hearty Italian pasta dishes. This free-form lasagna recipe is an easy dish for the two to re-create in their own kitchen.
Squash-Topped Cottage Pies
Darren McGrady, former chef to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, found Cottage Pie to be the favorite childhood dish of Prince William.
