Martin Kouprie, the chef and co-owner of Pangaea, will be cooking for Prince Charles and Camilla Friday at a reception hosted by the federal government.

PostCity.com caught up with Kouprie to find out what he’ll be serving the royal couple.

PostCity.com: Where is the event being held?

Kouprie: The event (Farmer's Market reception) is being held at the Brick Works in Toronto. In attendance, along with 100-130 others, will be Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.

PostCity.com: What's on the menu?

Kouprie: We are preparing Bison Tartar on Cookstown Dahlia Root with preserved egg yolk and onion seedlings.

PostCity.com: How much extra pressure is there knowing you're cooking for Prince Charles?

Kouprie: There is no more pressure cooking for Prince Charles than there is everyday.

PostCity.com: How did you get selected to cook for them?

Kouprie: My close affiliation with farmers and local producers (as well as being a member of Slow Food Toronto) has garnered me this invitation. I will be working closely with David Cohlmeyer of Cookstown Greens and partnering up for this event at his invitation.
