In the whimsical world of Netflix’s “With Love, Meghan,” the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, takes us on a delightful journey through her culinary adventures and a nostalgic peek into her youthful escapades in the food service industry. In the third episode, titled “Two Kids from L.A.,” Meghan reminisces about her formative years, revealing that she once worked at a donut shop named Little Orbit Donuts, a job that sparked her love for baking. This revelation is just the tip of the iceberg as she engages with celebrated chef Roy Choi, who shares her Los Angeles roots.
But wait, there’s more! In a later episode, Meghan shares yet another gem from her past—her first job at an ice cream shop called Humphrey Yogarts when she was just 13. As she prepares a delectable vanilla ice cream dish topped with strawberry preserves picked alongside her daughter, Princess Lilibet, the Duchess highlights her familial connections to food, noting that her grandmother also worked at an ice cream shop. It’s a heartwarming nod to the sweet legacy that has clearly influenced her culinary pursuits today.
Throughout the series, Meghan embraces her passion for cooking while also touching upon her entrepreneurial spirit.
