- From the first time I met him and mistook him for the gardener to the last time I cooked for him and he stole my lamb chops I loved cooking for Prince Philip. He was a master chef on the grill, always keeping the palace chefs on their toes and even teaching me how to peel fruit, the correct way, his way.
One of his favorite dishes was Crepes Islandaise, a recipe that he gave to the royal chefs and requested many times at his private dinner parties. In this video I share the recipe and how to prepare this simple dish.

Crepes Islandaise
Makes 6 portions
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda (bicarb of soda)
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
4 TBS melted butter
2 cups milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for cooking the crepes)
1 cup jam (your choice of fruit)
2 cups heavy cream, whipped
1/4 cup powdered sugar
In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and whisk until combined. In a separate large bowl add the eggs, melted butter, vanilla and milk and whisk together. Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and whisk until there are no lumps.
Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to a frying pan and heat until smoking hot. Carefully pour enough batter into the pan and swirl the pan until the batter coats the bottom of the pan (it only needs to be 1/4 inch thick) Cook until golden brown on the bottom and then flip the crepe and cook until golden brown on both sides. Slide the crepe onto a plate while you make more and then allow all to cool.
Lay out the cold crepes and spread the jam onto half a side of each. Top with the whipped cream and fold over the top of the crepe onto the cream. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. - บันเทิง
"I thought someone was stealing the fruit!"
"Well I am!"

An unrepentant and unabashed fruit thief! 🤣
This man's a legend. First time he sees the Queen he runs away from her corgis and makes her laugh.. and first time he met Philip mistook him for the gardner 🤣🤣🤣
It's crazy to me how he was already an "old man" in the 1990's. Sometimes it's hard to forget the length of time between someones 70th birthday and their 100th birthday.
almost 100
Spot on.
He was old in the 80s already
I am 74, but in my head I still feel like 21. Just a pity the body wont do what I tell it to do. I am sure he felt the same. Most people do.
@@lizeggar2421 Great. Stay forever young. If it's the case, you'd be an energetic grandmother!
You can tell Prince Phillip had respect for the work the chefs did.
The Prince had respect for people. I remember he was quite incensed when he heard the term "Human Resource" . He said Human Beings are not a resource. They are the raisin d'etre for corporations to exist.
@@margarettay1358 Hate to be that person, but it's raison*.
@@khalilelfakhri8243 Probably autodistort, striking again.
Are you insane?
@@timlynch5710 no sir thank you sir
"What have you got there?"
"Those are for the staff."
"I'll have those!"
Nice.
Darren may I say that this is the best tribute that I've seen to Philip thus far with the most warm and sincere personal touch. 😉
Thank you Geoff
@@Darren_McGrady you're most welcome Darren
I agree
@@Darren_McGrady I agree too, thank you.
Agree 100%. Best tribute Darren. Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories
You know what's strange to me? We learned so many good things about the Prince since his death, that we didn't know in life. Very sad.
agreed..same. Probably as well, means he stayed out of the limelight..unlike these days=)
you are lucky, had chance to serve Him..
Right? I think one of my favourite stories I learned was when he rescued the HMS Wallace. That story is just...wow.
Same here. I have the sad feeling we discover his nice soul a bit too late... why ?
Not helped by the press...
@@jocelyneb I tend to try to ignore the press. Unless they're down to bare-bone facts and "This is what I am actually witnessing as I stand here in front of the scene", I just ignore them.
"I judge a man by what I see him do, not by what others tell me he has done."
Captain Pellew, from the film "Horatio Hornblower: The Even Chance" ("The Duel" for American viewers).
I honestly thought Prince Philip would outlive Charles. He made it to 99 though! 1 year away from a full century of being alive. Still amazing. May he rest in peace.
what a terrible thing to say, no father wants to outlive his son.
Couple more months actually :(
@Campari Soda news about harry and m was shielded away from him as much as they can
@@Sosoph098 He saw the H and M interview. According to reports he was disgusted.

He was still athletic in his 70s. The prince visited Finland in 1995. He refused to wear a life jacket, even though the lake was half frozen
Well that was just stupid
Anyone who thinks they’re too tough to wear a life jacket, seatbelt, or helmet is a complete idiot.
In 75 years‽
No offense but how does that make you athletic
Seems a bit dim then!
You might not be good at cutting mangos, but you've done an excellent job at this tribute video!
Not too many people know that Prince Philip was actively involved in running the royal estates, and the fact that you as a former member of staff have wonderful memories of working there speaks well of him. How many people can speak fondly of their old bosses these days?
Indeed
😁 Alway helpful in giving helpful and useful and tried and true tips, yup. Definitely, sounds like a relation.
What else do u know..that he does too
Really working your tongue into this tedious bellends ringpiece there Callie
Oh perrr-leeeease stop licking bums just because somebody died. Somebody who had a life of absolute bliss at the expense of the residents of the British Isles. Makes me sick
This is probably the sweetest tribute to Prince Philip :)
Oh, my! That was both delightful and sorrowful 😞.
Lots to come imo.
Very nice but very sad too ...
yeah crepes are pretty sweet
Nice pun, even if unintended
The most genuine and heart warming tributes come not from the uncaring and politically bound. But from the staff and working class who enjoyed his company, and knew the little things about him
💯
What a wonderful way of remembering Prince Philip may he rest in peace. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, Darren went viral with this video, covered in the British press and everything. Congrats chef!
He was a gentleman of the old British Empire. Stately and dignified. As an American, I always felt like he was so refined and cultured. He also saw a lot of life. Think about how much the world changed from the time he was born until his death.
In almost 100 years- you're talking about the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s' The Great Depression of the 1930s', WWII (1939-1945), The Cold War (1948-1991), Korea (1950-1953), Vietnam (1959-1975), The Watergate Scandal (1974), The Bicentennial (1976), Disco (70s'-80s). A few more months and Prince Phillip would have been a centenarian!!
Justin, I agree with and appreciate, the fine compliments that you pay Prince Philip. However, he was not a gentleman of the old British Empire. The British Empire ceased to exist in 1945 and Philip didn't marry the Queen until 1947. The Empire was replaced with the Commonwealth and like the Queen, Prince Philip dedicated himself to its cause. The Empire was gone before Philip was on the scene. The days of colonialism ended and were replaced by voluntary membership in the Commonwealth of Nations.
@@maryoleary2037 Well said. My family is from Trinidad in the Caribbean so colonialism goes back until 1956 when the PNM- People's National Movement was established by Dr. Eric Eustace Williams (1911-1981).
@@riyadhrafique8377 Dr. Williams remains one of the most significant leaders in the history of modern Trinidad and Tobago.
@@maryoleary2037 He was described in a documentary as an enigma- which is true. Of course this is decades before my time. I was born in 1989- a presidential election year here in America, Reaganomics was out, Bush's "No New Taxes" was in. 😂
I made this dish this morning in honour of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip. Broke down crying watching the funeral, esp seeing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles . All my love, thoughts and prayers to Her Majesty and her family. He will be truly missed.
A lot of people on social media had all sorts of opinions about a man they didn't even know existed until that god-forsaken interview a few weeks ago but the only opinions that matter are the ones coming from the ones who actually knew him. Darren, your tribute echoes all the beautiful sentiments we've gotten from world leaders to palace staff and reveals the true warm and wonderful man that was beyond the stoic facade of a war veteran. Through this you've shown your viewers what tabloids, drama series and books never could. You've done well by him.
Darren, this is by far the most personal and touching tribute to Prince Phillip of all. Thank you.
Prince Philip sounds like a wonderful man 🙏 Rest In Heavenly Peace Phillip 🙏♥️🙏
Rest In Peace your Royal Highness, hope there is a barbecue in heaven.
If there isn't, why bother going?
I once heard a story, about the "Pearly
Gates." This common guy, had died, and
was walking down the dirt road, towards
the gate. It was AWESOME! Looked like
the entrance to Buckingham Palace. He
walked past, and found a gate, like going
into a pasture. His dog, from his youth
was there, as well as a guy with a notepad.
The deceased guy asked, what was that,
up the road? Oh, that is to lure in the treasure
seekers. Why is my dog here? She has been
waiting, for 55 years.
Something tells me, The Prince found the
right gate!
steve
Such humility
Ohhh nooh liberal man not easy to enter heaven😂
@@sebastianspecter8843 dear god. Why would anyone say such say.
@@sebastianspecter8843 Are you in hell🤣🤣🤣
I think this is the first tribute that I’ve seen from a person that wasn’t just someone who felt obligated to say nice things because their jobs on the line
I could listen to these stories the whole day!!!
The BEST Tribute I've seen for the wonderful Prince Philip! Thank you for such a loving, respectful, familiar memorial!
Same for me
When I was in The Life Guards, the Queen and Prince Philip came for lunch at the officers mess and I was on duty. It was my job to look after the Prince. When they were all seated, the Prince asked me for a beer, in a proper pint glass, all the rest had wine. The Queen was very nice as well, I had to pull her chair away at the end of the meal, she said thank you and she slipped the after mint into her handbag.
Oh Chef Darren I am so
proud of you giving such a beautiful tribute.
RIP Prince Philip.
GOD BLESS.
Poor bloke, he sounds so heart broken that Prince Phillip passed. Like he was an old friend bidding his last farewell, everyone’s with you in the mourning mate, may he rest in piece.
Thank you for sharing these lovely memories of the Duke, he sounds a wonderful man. No wonder the queen was happy all those years with him.
He knew there was some damn good strawberries in that garden 😂
Prince Phillip and Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth, were two anchors of civility and dignity. they always conducted themselves as an example to their subjects. Eternal Rest grant unto Him O Lord, and let Thy perpetual light always shine upon Him. Amen.
You must b party to their dignified life
Heard lots of what they used to do
D-Mac,
Your tribute was well done. Philip was a mans man. There are damn few of his type left in the world.
He didn't suffer fools, told it like it was, and (as a military man) respected people who put time and effort into doing their jobs. Respect.
"i thought someone was stealing the fruit" "well i am!"
that is amazing
The Prince had a long wonderful life. RIP Prince
I love how all of your memories have their own their quirkiness to them and you aren’t afraid to share that with us Darren. I’m sorry for you loss because you truly knew the man behind the crown. May Prince Philip Rest In Peace and God Bless to you and yours! Cheers! ❤️
My parents met The Duke once, they say he was the most perfect gentleman, an absolute delight to meet
Actually when I read about the news, my mind soon turned to you because I remembered your stories about him. What I learned was that both Philip and Elizabeth could be surprisingly down to earth people.
Hahahahaha
I’ve loved hearing people’s stories of Prince Philip this past week. It seems as though everyone who met him has fond memories of him. He was a great man. Rest In Peace Prince Philip.
Such a shame though, that we're only finding out about him now
An awesome tribute for an exceptional man. He had a wicked sense of humour. well documented by his many gaffes. RIP SIR.
I recall on a tour of Africa he asked a group of Tribesmen If they still chucked spears at each other.
When I saw the staff line up outside Windsor Castle at the funeral and instantly thought of you. Must have been a very emotional day for everyone who knew him
What a really nice memory of Prince Phillip. How great that he loved a good BBQ like we do here in the U.S. and the love of food and cooking! He seemed like a fun-loving and down to earth man. He seems truly missed. God bless his soul.
I love him even more now that I know he didn't drink wine and was a beer drinker. Rumour has it that he still drank Double Diamond even when it wasn't served in pubs any more.
Prince Philip was younger when Darren cooked for the Royal Family. He must have had a real presence with the staff, especially in those years. Thanks for the tribute.
I had the pleasure of having lunch with the Queen and Prince Philip a couple of years ago, and the food was at another level. A very special day.
He probably tells these stories many times, but his facial expression still sparkles with excitement. I can tell he genuinely respect and love the royal family and prince Philip. What a lovely tribute to the Prince
Prince Philip was on my bucket list of last drinks with. I raise a glass on his behalf. God bless the Prince.
This Royal Chef should have his on channel! ❤️
What wonderful memories of a special man. I like to think that Prince Philip is in heaven teaching the angels how to cook BBQ while drinking a good beer. Blessing to you and to the Royal Family.
i could listen to people tell stories about prince philip all day
what an extraordinary man
Have always admired the Duke very much. As an American love the royal family.
Such a genuine way to remember him with his favourite food.
I love the fact that the prince love's our pancakes
@@ijemand5672 it doesn’t rly matter since if they’re from iceland i doubt english is his first language and it’s a youtube comment anyway
@@ijemand5672 So you are open to learning? Cool! Lesson number one: next time you want to politely correct someone, try using a friendlier tone. For example: "I bet Iceland is as lovely as it's food! It is commendable that you are trying to learn a language other than your native one! Not many people do, especially where I come from :D As a native speaker I noticed a little mistake in your comment- it's spelled loves and not love's :) I hope that was helpful! "
@@ijemand5672 you’re coming off as condescending since none of us are your peers that’s all. There are always better approaches
@@ijemand5672 Who asked you and who really cares? You need to have a long discussion with the individuals who raised you and ask them why lessons in manners, tolerance and consideration were absent from their curriculum.
Chill guys, he just corrected his grammar, and for free... I can thank many people on the Internet for calling out my mistakes, if they say extra nice stuff that's just a plus (as long as they don't call the guy making the mistake dumb or idiot it's really OK)
Wonderful tribute to HRH The Prince Philip.
Thank you for your service, Sir.
Rest In Peace, 🌼
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Truly enjoyed listening to your memories. You were blessed to be one of the lucky people to know the Duke. RIP Prince Philip. Long live the Queen. Sending love from Chicago.
Hello how are you doing today 😊😊😊
Your sense of storytelling is fantastic. The connection between food and the human element makes your TH-cam channel really fun to watch... better than boring ole TV. Thanks Chef.... RIP HRH
Rest In Peace Prince Philip.
This makes me miss a memory I didn’t even have
A lovely Tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh.
He loved eating the wild game and food from the gardens... The Duke sounds like my kinda guy
I'm so sorry for the loss of such a great man that you knew so well
Gorgeous tribute. The DOE was so much fun. 💔
Icelandic pancakes, I find it amazing that he loved them.
Shows he had a great taste
What a lovely tribute, Chef. It's a privilege watching you retell the privilege of serving such a fine man. I am. Duke of Edinburgh Award winner and always admired him. May God rest his soul and provide his family with the comfort of knowing His Royal Highness is with Him.
You can clearly see the respect you had for The Duke , such a lovely touching tribute 💙
that sigh was full of emotions and vivid memories ( 5:45 )
"pepper-mill with a flashlight" that is priceless!
Darren, you have a way with your words and story!!! Thank you for sharing them. Rest in Peace, your royal highness, Prince Philip ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A touching tribute to Prince Phillip from a man who loves the royal family deeply.
You can tell he isn't comfortable yet referring to Philip in the past tense. A couple times he slips up and uses present tense purely out of habit.
i love your wholesome take on the Royals. It's refreshing. I know it's all problematic blah blah but I just love these simple, sweet stories.
Agree 😊
Food is love and the best way to honor someone is to share their favorite dishes. Great video
Wow Chef, what a beautiful tribute to the Prince! I loved each story and could only imagine how VERY special it all was. ❣️🥰😊
I stayed because I no longer was hearing the story of a prince but the memories of a friend.
RIP to you Sir. A wonderful husband and Monarch. Thank you Darren for such wonderful recipes, as well.
The tale about you thinking that the Duke was the gardener made me laugh ! HRH.The Prince Phillip, will be sadly missed. He was one of the stronger generation and his motto, " Get on with it". A rock to our Queen, Long Live Our Noble Queen.
I have seen a number of tributes to Prince Phillip since his passing, and they all come down to the same thing, he was a kind down-to-earth man. Being an outdoor guy, doing BBQ is not a surprise, going down to the kitchen not a surprise either, liked to eat the game he shot not a surprise. A well-lived life. Walking around the home looking like a gardener reminds me of a story that Luciel Ball use to tell, she had a new housekeeper and a tatty man came by with some tomatoes for lucy and she turned him away. Lucy had to explain to the new housekeeper that tatty man was Jimmy Stewart, at the time he was not only an actor at the top of the game then, but also a Serving Brigadier General in the USAF reserves. HRH a gardener, well in a way he was very much so.
Prince Phillip was a fine man. Sorry for your and Great Britians loss. May he Rest in Peace and may you cherish your memories.
What a nice tribute! What memories to keep and share with the rest of us normal people who may have never even met such a wonderful gentleman such as Prince Philip. #RIP 🇺🇲 🇬🇧
When I heard of Prince Philip's passing I immediately thought of your mistaking him for the gardener, and his wanting to eat the staff's meal stories - thanks for your lovely, touching tribute. You are a class act, Darren.
It’s always wonderful when you can remember people by the activity they loved. A wonderful tribute to a true foodie.
You salute at the end brought tears to my eyes. Bless your Heart.
No wonder why he worked out so much, he obviously loved food and so very unusual ingredients. I am sure you have some great memories. I loved his sense of humor , his observations meant he was listening and his jokes, even the naughty ones, were what made him unforgettable. May he rest in peace, he will be missed.
I loved your tribute to Prince Phillip. I feel like I was listening to a family member, so warm and sweet like my own grandpa. Thank you for your service to Prince Phillip. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
Such a beautiful tribute, Darren. Thank you for sharing! RIP HRH Prince Philip.
He was a proper German Prince.
Omg…you made me cry..thanks for honouring Prince Phillip..
A good era is gone; The Duke and our beloved Queen Elizabeth left us.
We still morn them both. RIP BELOVED
Beautiful tribute to the late prince Philip
What a beautiful tribute! Thank you, Darren.
Rest in Peace Prince Philip
Great tribute, Darren. I am so sad that Prince Philip is gone but what a life! His memory will live on always. ❤️
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊
What a wonderful tribute
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
We all loved the late Prince Philip dearly. He was such a delightful gentleman, may God Bless His Soul.
What beautiful memories Darren & You will always cherish . Thank you for sharing them with us. RIP Prince Phillip . 🙏🍻
Great tribute. The heartfelt condolences are real from you. You've lost a cherished friend and emoloyer. I'm sorry for your loss. To have such memories to cherish is a blessing. Always remember them. He's now in Heaven wondering when his best chef will join him for a great homecoming meal. God bless.
What a lovely remembrance of Prince Philip. I have always been interested in the royalty of Great Britain. Was so sorry when I heard of his passing.
I really like an honest humble tribute to the Man who touched so many lives... thanks for the video
Hello, Darren. I’m sorry to hear of the loss of Prince Philip. I always love hearing the gardener story. I’ve just started the video but I’m sure it’ll be a wonderful tribute! Well wishes to you and your family, Darren! ❤️
And the story when The Queens corgis chased him and how The Queen laughed. My favorite bit
Hi, can i know where to watch the Garderner story? Tq
Darren I am from Muscat Oman. Love to hear you talking and sharing just recently came across your videos. Really enjoyed them. God Bless.
@@yukixiian Well, he basically begin this video with it, so for example watch this vid. 😊
genuine affection shows Darren in this video and I love it. My condolences to you in the loss of your Duke.
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊😊
My parents sent me away to a New England boarding school, and the first day I was there I confused the headmaster for a maintenance guy because he had on work boots and clothes, and was fixing some old push mower...Guy was a legend... George Bartlett was his name.
Many greats have that type of aura sometimes, the art of concealment to get things done without being bothered unless wanted to be.😌😎
New England? You mean England
@@KiraHunter2310 Nope.....New England.....Connecticut.
That is Yankee style.
@@KiraHunter2310 You have never heard of New England ?
New Brunswick, Georgia or New Amsterdam ? ...ye lord
I love the way this amazing man shares his memories of Prince Phillip and his time with the Royals. I also find him adorably so cute 😊.
A respectful and heartfelt tribute. From the many documentaries and interviews I have seen over the years, there have been so many comments about how the staff enjoyed working for the Royal Family and no hint that there was any problems or difficult Royals. Darren's anecdotes were lovely to hear.
You should make recipe book of all the dishes the Duke loved as a memorial tribute.
@ De W Great idea!
Wonderful idea!
Lovely tribute! RIP Prince Philip 🙏
Aww, he seemed like such a wonderful character. I truly feel sorry for Her Majesty and his family and friends to lose him. And for you too Chef. RIP Prince Philip 🙏
