Mindy Kaling dishes on ‘With Love, Meghan’

Mindy Kaling says Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s cooking “blew me out of the water” after she appeared on her friend’s upcoming Netflix series With Love, Meghan.

Meghan is joined by celebrity pals, including the ‘Mindy Project’ creator and her former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer on her new lifestyle series.

Speaking to Deadline at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, the 45-year-old actress spilled: “I was just in my maternity leave and Meghan texted me and said, ‘Hey, do you want to come be in my show and come to Montecito and have me cook for you?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, that sounds perfect, I would love to do that.’”

Praising her pal’s kitchen skills, she said: “Well, I think of myself as kind of an okay cook, but she unsurprisingly blew me out of the water. The thing about her recipes and being there was that it was just really accessible. She has a garden, from scratch, which I could never do, and chickens. They would probably all die if I tried to take care of chickens.”

In a trailer for the show that dropped last week, Kaling said: “This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life.”

A show description from Netflix stated: “This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old. Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same. Guests include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends.”

With Love, Meghan will have eight 30-minute episodes and will première on the streaming platform on January 15.
