With Christmas around the corner it's the perfect time to make this Christmas Cake from Queen Elizabeth II's former cook Mrs McKee. We take a look at her life and get some insights from her time cooking for multiple royal households. The cake itself is light and packed with dried fruit - and was ultimately a huge task to assemble and bake. We also discuss the myriad of other Christmas recipes in the cookbooks.
