The Duchess of Cornwall served up a treat for volunteers who have dished out meals during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Camilla, along with husband Prince Charles, praised workers at the Treverbyn Community Hall, in St Austell, Cornwall.
The couple helped out at the Hive project, which has cooked up 100,000 meals since March.
Camilla, 73, served up two portions of rogan josh with project lead Brian Honey-Morgan.
In jovial spirits, the duchess joked: "They are not allowed seconds. But I hope somebody enjoys that.
And added: "Thanks so much for all you've done and volunteering. People are brilliant."
The Hive had also used the kitchens at Rick Stein's restaurant in Padstow during the pandemic.
Charles and Camilla were told about the initiatives run by the community group since the start of the outbreak, and also met primary school pupils who had recently returned to class.
The projects are run by Cornwall Community Foundation, for which the duchess is a patron.
Among them was a 'Phone A Friend' scheme, where volunteers armed with a list of vulnerable residents make a round of calls every week.
The royal couple were also shown a library and jigsaw-lending scheme for locals, both of which are run from the centre.
They also saw a community larder where people could grab food from a market stall outside the hall.
Prince Charles introduced Camilla, who will tomorrow take over from the Duke of Edinburgh as Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles.
The duchess quipped: "You had better watch out. I'll be in charge."
Charles's Duchy of Cornwall Benevolent Fund has previously donated £1.5million to the Cornwall Community Foundation.
The Prince of Wales told volunteers: "I'm so glad it helped."
The prince spoke to Brian, of The Hive, who revealed chefs had secured food unwanted by supermarkets to create their meals.
Charles said: "It is very good stuff. Thank you for your fantastic work. It is such a marvellous community."
The prince and duchess were also given bunting as a gift.
Leaving the community, Charles and Camilla were greeted by primary school children from The Treverbyn Academy, which has 207 pupils aged between four and eleven.
Teachers have made sure pupils have access to school meals and welfare and homework.
The youngsters waved homemade rainbow flags and most had been homeschooled during the pandemic.
The duchess said: "My children will be quite glad when it's over."
Charles asked Sadie, four, what was her favourite meal.
She replied: "Cake and crisps".
The Duchess of Cornwall became Patron of Cornwall Community Foundation in 2005.
Over the last six years, Treverbyn Community Hall has evolved into an essential hub providing many activities and services for the rural communities that surround it.
Last year alone over 25,000 visits were made to the Hall.
During lockdown, local volunteers, including those from Cornwall Community Foundation used the centre as a base to make sure medical and food supplies got to those in need.
A grant from Cornwall Community Foundation’s Emergency Covid Appeal funded running costs and a skeleton team.
They provided food boxes, frozen meal packs and lunch takeaways for those struggling to access shops and introduced a food share point.
Other services have included a 24/7‘Phone a Friend’ telephone helpline and outreach for the community in particular, those suffering job loss and financial difficulty as a result of the crisis.
