Michelin-Star Chef Praises Meghan Markle’s Netflix Cooking Skills

Meghan Markle's Netflix lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan" has received mixed reviews, with some critics like celebrity chef Jameson Stocks calling it a ratings failure that failed to make Netflix's top 300 shows despite heavy promotion. Nevertheless, the show was renewed under a new multi-year deal with Netflix, reportedly shifting to a pay-per-show agreement that demands higher quality content. Season two features acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth, who has praised Meghan's cooking skills, describing her as "really good at cooking," creative, and having a good palate, while highlighting her proficiency in tasks like filleting fish. Clare, who has a longstanding connection with the Sussexes and cooked for their wedding reception, joined Meghan in filming relaxed cooking segments that include preparing healthy dishes using home-grown ingredients. Additionally, Meghan’s cookware, such as the highly rated titanium non-stick pan from Our Place, has drawn attention for its quality and popularity among food enthusiasts. Despite criticism, the involvement of respected culinary figures and renewed Netflix partnership indicate Meghan's ongoing commitment to building her lifestyle brand through television.
