In an unexpected yet quintessentially Meghan twist, Meghan Markle—former actress turned duchess and now lifestyle influencer—has just released the trailer for her new Netflix cooking show, « With Love, Meghan », premiering January 15.
The first glimpses are highly promising. However, we’ve envisioned what this might entail, given the culinary traditions tied to the two nations that have shaped the duchess’s life thus far. Imagine merging the vibrant flavors of California with the legendary sophistication of English cuisine. The result? A show where guacamole meets Christmas pudding in a macabre culinary waltz that would make even Jamie Oliver shudder.
Signature Dishes: When Boldness Meets the Indigestible
The premiere episode might dive into dishes representing Meghan’s two worlds. On the menu:
- “Fish and Chips with Organic Kale”: A modern twist where battered fish is swapped for matcha-marinated tofu, and traditional potato fries are deemed too mainstream. Meghan opts instead for steamed sweet potato fries, served with cold-pressed beet ketchup.
- “Avocado Jelly Pie”: Naturally, this combines the quintessential Californian avocado with mint jelly, a British dessert even the Brits have abandoned. One bite, and you’ll question why these two cultures coexisted in the first place.
- “Vegan Sunday Roast with an American Twist”: Forget roast beef and crispy potatoes. Here come quinoa-stuffed zucchini roasts, drizzled with almond milk gravy. Yes, it’s as peculiar as it sounds.
Royal Anecdotes Between Recipes
Each episode is sprinkled with heartfelt and entirely non-rebellious anecdotes. “I remember Harry had never tasted an açaí bowl before meeting me,” she says with a smile. “Now he can’t start his day without one.”
She also recounts her battle against suet pudding, an English dessert she describes as “the enemy of modernity,” and her mission to replace Earl Grey tea with oat milk matcha lattes in royal traditions.
A Recipe for the Future?
If « With Love, Meghan » wins over audiences, rumors suggest Meghan may launch a line of branded products: crown-shaped jelly molds, organic spices grown in her Montecito garden, and a book titled « Cooking with Grace: Blending Royal Traditions with Californian Superfoods. »
We’ll leave you to ponder this while savoring (or not) your avocado jelly.
