Mindy Kaling has praised the Duchess of Sussex's culinary skills and said Prince Harry is "a pretty good cook" too.
The 45-year-old actress is a special guest on the royal's forthcoming Netflix show - With Love, Meghan - which the streamer says "reimagines the genre of lifestyle".
Kaling, who has three children - Katherine, seven, Spencer, four, and Anne, 11 months, told Deadline on the Golden Globes red carpet: "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'."
She went on to shower praise on Meghan's skills in the kitchen, saying: "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."
When asked about the Duke of Sussex, Kaling said: "Harry was there, but he didn't cook for me. But I hear he's actually a pretty good cook. He knows his way around a kitchen."
Meghan announced her new show by returning to Instagram after four years away, posting a black and white video of her on a beach on New Year's Day and writing 2025 in the sand with her finger.
She followed it up the next day with the trailer for the show, with the message: "I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it."
Split into eight half-an-hour shows, other special guests include chefs Roy Choi and Alice Waters.
