King Charles has helped to bring a taste of Scotland to a community more than 4,000 miles away from the Highlands, thanks to his charity.<\/p>\n
The King\u2019s Foundation helps more than 15,000 students every year to learn practical skills that are rooted in nature and tradition, which can then be taken back into their communities. <\/p>\n
Culinary courses are offered at Dumfries House, in southwest Scotland, and allow students to learn skills in the 18th-century stately home that is the headquarters of The King\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n
Tanisha Higgins spent six weeks in Ayrshire last year as part of the course at Dumfries House, and she has now taken her new skills back to her home in the Caribbean and is cooking up Scottish staples at her cafe in Kingston. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Higgins is a regular cook at The Rose Town Foundation, a charity in her hometown, which works alongside The King\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n
She was sponsored by the organisation to take on the course in Scotland to learn new skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n
She revealed: \u201cI practised the potato scones at home a lot, and my daughter loves those!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI had so much fun learning at Dumfries House. We gardened and learned about different types of soil for growing food. I was fascinated with purple broccoli, which I\u2019d never seen before, yellow raspberries and different types of apples. The whole experience was amazing.<\/p>\n
After returning to Scotland to officially graduate from her course at Dumfries House, the 43-year-old was able to meet the King, something which she said was \u201cfantastic.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She continued: \u201cIt was a delightful feeling to meet the King. I feel privileged to have been in the same space as him and to greet him. We had some small talk, it was fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Foundation announced earlier this year that it had helped over 115,000 students over the 35 years of operation.<\/p>\n
The charity also offers health and well-being programs for the nearly 2,000 people every year, and works to spearhead placemaking and regeneration projects in the UK and overseas to maintain communities and historic buildings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The King has also launched alcohol-infused Christmas puddings at his Sandringham estate shop in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n
The estate shop describes the festive treat as “Perfect for family gatherings or a solo treat, our Christmas pudding is made to a classic recipe with time to mature, allowing sumptuous flavours to develop fully.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Sandringham puddings differ from Queen Elizabeth II’s original recipe, which incorporated beer and dark rum alongside the other ingredients.<\/p>\n
The King maintains a festive tradition established by his grandfather George V, presenting 1,500 puddings annually to palace employees, accompanied by a royal gift card.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
