Michelin Chef Praises Meghan Markle’s Cooking Skills in Netflix Series

Clare Smyth, a British Michelin-starred chef who catered Meghan and Harry's 2018 wedding, praised the Duchess of Sussex's culinary skills, describing her as "actually really good at cooking" and "pretty good at filleting a fish." Smyth, who runs the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Core in London, appears in the second season of Meghan's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, where she teaches the Duchess to prepare fine dining dishes such as poached halibut with seasonal vegetables and bone broth. Meghan personally contacted Smyth to participate in the show, and they filmed together in California, including visits to fish markets and using homegrown vegetables. The second season of the lifestyle show, featuring other guests like Chrissy Teigen and Jamie Kern Lima, is set to air on August 26 amid Netflix loosening its deal with the Sussexes. Smyth highlighted Meghan's creativity and good palate, emphasizing the educational aim of the show to explore fine dining techniques beyond home cooking. The ongoing collaboration reflects the longstanding relationship between the chef and the Sussexes, who were regulars at Core before their departure from royal duties.
