Naming dishes after royalty is a long tradition.When the Queen was crowned at her Coronation in June 1953 the cookery writers Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume created coronation chicken to mark the event. Battenberg cake was created to mark the marriage of Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Princess Victoria, to Prince Louis of Battenberg in 1884.

       Guests at Buckingham Palace garden parties are still served Victoria sponge, named after the slice of cake QueenVictoria enjoyed with her afternoon tea. And the Queen of Puddings has been a national favourite sinceVictoria gave it her seal of approval. Now it will be joined in the nation's royal recipe book by the new creation.

       The competition, open for entries until February 4, is being organised by London store Fortnum & Mason and The Big Jubilee Lunch.
