"With love, Meghan" on Netflix

I don’t have Netflix so I’m not going to see snippets.

What were the highlights for you?

I don’t really watch high end lifestyle stuff. Cookery and decorating and entertaining guests and stuff like that.

only going to see snippets

Highlights were ... the easy Single Skilled pasta dish (I generally love the way younger people embrace all shortcuts - she cooks the pasta in the sauce from the off); the stunning scenery; the small touches that lift an ordinary dish, the relaxed vibe ...

I will watch the first episode too.

I have no issue with Meghan or Garry as people or as a family. I understand some of their issues.

I don’t think they’ve acted at all wisely in many respects.

I am not into lifestyle programmes and the world of celebrity leaves me cold, so I won't be watching it. However, I wish her well. I don't see any value in berating her over and over again for the way things have turned out. Live and let live.

Ooops Harry not Garry 😂😂😂😂

That should be Skillet!

Ooops Harry not Garry 😂😂😂😂

I enjoyed that Cossy, and how good to see a thread abiut these two nit (yet) filled with complaints and put downs

Put downs ? Put down anyone who criticises them !

A thread about these two nit(s)?

Sorry, Iam but that made me laugh.

I’ll give it a go later this afternoon.

The thread is about a lifestyle programme on Netflix 😌

No, Iam uses this thread to snipe at posters who have criticised on other threads

Fresh pasta presumably?

Just thinking about how runny the sauce would have to be if it was dried.

You can see I’m more of a Conran girl😬 (Lifes too short to stuff a mushroom)

Nope, dry pasta! Apparently the starch from the pasta thickens the runny sauce. I do add a ladle of pasta water to my pasta sauces, so I guess that's the same principle.

Tomato sauce? Does the pasta come out all red? Aren’t the other veggies a bit overcooked?

Sorry about going on about this.

I just can’t imagine it

I’ve just watched the first episode. The only bit that interested me was the amazing view at the end.

No wonder she didn’t want to live in Windsor under the Heathrow flight path. 😂😂

I just saw a snippet online. Why isn’t her hair tied back, was my only thought.

I’ve just watched episode 1, and won’t rush to watch any more. I can’t see it being a great success, as the ‘cooking’ ( one cake and a pan of pasta) was hardly memorable. It may fare better with an American audience, but looking at her ‘friends’ who will be appearing in future, and the fact that it’s not filmed in her own house, wouldn’t make for big viewing figures.

I gave it 10 mins out of curiosity.
Couldn’t stand the breathless giggly voice any longer.
Even The Guadian slated it and they have always championed her.

I gave it a go. It's pretty. And in my opinion, terribly boring. But to be fair I loathe all cookery programmes apart from Bake Off. And I loved to watch the Galloping Gourmet with my much loved grandma.

I only managed 15 minutes, I was bored. But it's not going to interest everyone.

I hope she manages to get a few good reviews.

She added the veggies in stages, so no overcooking. Tomatoes towards the end. Pasta wasn’t red! I’m going to try it, will report back.

No contest!

I think Meghan is right for it not to be filmed in her own house. That would be completely contrary to her desire for "privacy". 😆
However, I'm having trouble deciding whether it's the food she wants viewers to voraciously consume, or Meghan herself?
Yes, the scenery is beautiful.

Good to see my hopeless typing made you laugh Merlotgran - made me smile as well when I saw it later
