Meghan in the kitchen<\/p>\n
JAKE ROSENBERG\/NETFLIX<\/p>\n
I have always been a cooking TV addict: my adolescence was largely spent watching Jamie Oliver casually feeding the masses from a beautiful country<\/a> kitchen, Nigella Lawson swanning around hers in Eton Square, or Ina Garten imparting her wisdom (N.B. it mostly involves using unthinkable amounts of butter) from her achingly enviable kitchen in east Hampton. For me, as I suspect is the case for most viewers, the kitchen and its decoration<\/a> provided as much, if not more appeal than the food that was being prepared. The latest TV chef to join the ranks from a most aspirational of settings is the mononymous Meghan (formerly known as Meghan Markle), whose Netflix show, \u2018With Love, Meghan\u2019, returned with season two on Tuesday 26 August.<\/p>\n In the second season, we see more celebrity friends such as Chrissy Teigan, John Legend and Queer Eye’s Tan France pop by for food.<\/p>\n With Love, Meghan.

Jake Rosenberg\/Netflix \u00a9 2025JAKE ROSENBERG\/NETFLIX<\/p>\n For fans of the first season, there’s plenty to be excited about – an array of recipes<\/a> (Meghan says she likes to \u2018take something simple and elevate it\u2019, which is presumably why hummus and crudit\u00e9s are among the dishes featured), a few celebrity cameos, and Meghan’s tips for flower arranging. Possibly most alluring about the show, however, is the wondrous kitchen it is filmed in, which sits within a house reportedly worth $6 million<\/a>, belonging to Meghan’s neighbours in Montecito, the Cipolla family.<\/p>\n With Love, Meghan.

The house itself is a four-bedroom<\/a>, four-bathroom<\/a> archetype of American design, which is characterised by clean lines, white walls and plenty of glamour. It is easy to see why Meghan chose it as a backdrop for her show \u2013 the kitchen is a cook’s dream. From the Ceasarstone countertops, the large island and the cream cabinetry, to the Thermador range cooker and glut of Le Creuset pots and pans. Outside, a vegetable patch offers delicious-looking ingredients ripe for the picking.<\/p>\n ‘Bready or not\u2026 here I crumb’<\/p>\n COURTESY OF NETFLIX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan in the kitchen JAKE ROSENBERG\/NETFLIX I have always been a cooking TV addict: my adolescence was largely…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,9286,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-375059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-film-tv","12":"tag-harry","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-prince-harry","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115095369385118427","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
