Episode summary:

Michael Buerk is joined by chefs Paul Ainsworth and Anna Haugh to showcase food inspired by the Commonwealth. The Queen is head of the political union of 52 countries and it is said that she considers it her greatest achievement. Paul is inspired by a dish served up to the Queen at a grand Commonwealth meeting in Malta, where she spent the early years of her marriage. Anna gets to cook on board the Royal Yacht Britannia, a floating palace and iconic symbol of the Commonwealth. Finally, Paul uses some of the finest ingredients from his mother's home on the Seychelles to cook up a seafood dish that's similar to those enjoyed by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their honeymoon.
