The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, cooking on TV.
This is what star pub Erik Videgård believes that she should immediately end up.
– She can probably start by cooking. It’s horrible, he says on News Day.
In the Netflix series “With Love, Meghan”, Meghan Markle invites TV viewers to the big, bright kitchen in the royal family’s goods in Montecito in California.
Tips on cooking and gardening are interspersed with social chefs and the Duchess’s friends.
Netflix’s vision that the program should “create beauty, even in the unexpected” is met by anger-from both TV viewers and reviewers, which, among other things, called the series “an exercise in narcissism”.
“Pallets only ten minutes at a time”
One who fits into the complaint choir is the pub and TV chef Erik Videgård.
– I’ve seen two episodes – it took me four days. I only pallet ten minutes at a time, then the cushion goes forward, he says.
Videgård’s biggest objection to the series is that food is not cooked.
– It is not enough to take three cake bottoms and put cream in between, or break some hives to make light.
Tips on other TV series about food
Despite the strong criticism, the program has been given green light for a second season. But for your own well-being, you should not give the series any attention, according to Videgård, which instead highlights some other television series that revolves around food.
– Ignore this series and watch “Italy” with Stanley Tucci instead. There, food is cooked, it is for real, he says.
Other series on the theme of food that Erik Videgård tips on are The Bear and The Mind of A Manager, where the latter is primarily aimed at anyone who wants to cave in cooking technology.
– The Bear was revolutionary in the storytelling style. Some things are true, but sometimes it is a little dramatized.
