Great British Bake Off judge hails coronation quiche at Westminster Big Lunch

HELLO!

Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith became one of the first people to try the official coronation pastry at a special Big Lunch at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, attended by faith leaders from across the country.  Hosted by the Dean of Westminster, the outdoor event was organised to inspire people to organise their own celebratory events, showing how food can bring together people of all faiths and backgrounds.  Tens of thousands of street parties are expected to be held during the coronation weekend, with people encouraged to come together across the country for the Coronation Big Lunch on Sunday May 7.

00:23It was. It's not big enough.

00:31Well really, we're publicising the coronation Big Lunch, which we hope the whole nation

00:38will get involved with and that there'll be street parties and picnics and everything

00:42going on between the 6th and the 8th of May over the coronation weekend. But we want everybody

00:49to think about it because it can be a last minute thing. It doesn't have to be planned

00:53once ahead. And so we want people to go on to coronationbiglunch.com and there are packs

01:01to help and recipes and ideas. And to be honest, the whole lot can come out of the supermarket.

01:07The most important thing is that it's about meeting your neighbours and having your family

01:13and friends. I mean, I've always thought food is more important as an excuse to talk to

01:20other people than it is almost for nutrition, which of course it's important. So that's

01:27why I'm involved. I think food can play such a good part and drink, of course. I mean, who

01:31doesn't like a party?

01:34Fine news for you!
