IT’S been a big weekend for expat Pom and Bridgewater’s renowned caterer and raffle table organiser Jany Clutton.
Jany’s 66th birthday on Saturday came with a special recognition from the British Government of new monarch King Charles on the day of his coronation.
More than 40 years after arriving in Australia from Britain, Jany will qualify for a few pounds in pension under the reign of the Commonwealth’s new king.
And between getting organised for Sunday’s Run for Resilience in Bridgewater, Jany set aside time to try out the dish decreed by the new king to be consumed in celebrations following the ceremony at Westminster Abbey and the procession back to Buckingham Palace - the Coronation Quiche.
Janey used the prescribed 125ml milk, 175ml double cream, two medium eggs, a tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon, 100g cheddar, grated, 180g of cooked spinach and 60g of cooked broad beans or soya beans in the royal dish.
Jany says she munched on the quiche when the coronation is beamed on TV on Saturday night. “A nice birthday dish to celebrate the crowning of our new king ... and a bit of a pension,” she said.
