As a criticism and author of food, Tom explored the culinary history of the monarchy in his book Kitchen and crownwhere he plunges into the personal tastes of the monarchs and the meaning of the kitchen of the palace. He also said that the reputation of generous alcohol consumption in court comes from her grandmother, the queen mother, known for her affection for gin, wine and champagne – a tradition that Camilla has not adopted.
