Duchess’s Dishes: Home Cook Attempts Meghan Markle‘s Netflix Recipes – Marshmallows Prove Fussy, But one Meal Impresses
LONDON, August 29, 2025 – A home cook recently put Meghan Markle’s recipes from her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, to the test, finding the homemade marshmallow recipe overly elaborate despite a accomplished outcome, while discovering one dish notably enjoyable.
The experiment, detailed in a recent review, highlighted the specialized equipment and ingredients required for some recipes. The marshmallow recipe, such as, calls for gelatin and a stand mixer – items not typically found in every kitchen. The initial attempt using a hand whisk proved unsuccessful, necessitating a loan from a neighbor.
Despite initial doubts, the cook successfully created a “silky looking marshmallow paste” after combining homemade hot sugar syrup with gelatin and water in a stand mixer.A subsequent attempt to replicate Meghan’s signature turmeric swirls resulted in marshmallows that, while functional, were ”not the most aesthetically pleasing thing I’ve ever created.” the resulting marshmallows tasted “okay,” though the cook questioned the turmeric and marshmallow pairing, finding the vanilla version more palatable.
“it’s sticky business,” the cook noted.
The review also touched on the overall accessibility of the recipes. While generally “easy and accessible,” the experience led the cook to question the series’ core purpose.
“But the more I watch With Love, Meghan, the more I think it’s not really about learning much, but sitting on the sidelines while she and her celebrity pals have a rather lovely time mucking about with food, flowers and whatever else they have time to do,” the cook concluded.
While the marshmallow recipe proved fussy, the review indicated at least one recipe from the series was a success, though details of that dish were not specified.The With Love, Meghan series offers a glimpse into the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle and passions, featuring recipes and demonstrations alongside celebrity friends.
