Meghan Markle’s Knife Skills Spark Online Frenzy

The culinary world is buzzing after the release of the trailer for 's cooking series, “With Love, Meghan.”

While the feedback has been a mixed bag, one particular moment has taken the internet by storm: Meghan's rather unconventional knife skills.

Observing her wield a chef's knife in the promo felt akin to watching a toddler's first encounter with scissors—awkward and a little alarming.

Now, let's be clear.

DIY cooking shows can be entertaining.

They often charm audiences with their relatable mishaps and heartfelt moments.

However, if you're trying to present yourself as a lifestyle guru—something Meghan appears to be aiming for—then knowing how to properly handle a knife is essential.

This isn't just a minor detail; it's basic kitchen etiquette.

So what's going on here?

Is Meghan under the impression that the knife is some kind of wild creature that needs to be tamed?

Or is she attempting to impress us with her less-than-stellar technique?

To shed light on this, I reached out to John Paul Hutchins, a skilled chef from London, who specializes in teaching knife skills.

His tutorial, “How to Hold a Knife Properly,” highlights the fundamentals of gripping a knife like a pro.

Spoiler alert: Meghan's technique was far from what he would recommend.

It's surprising to note that Meghan's show features not just one, but two professional chefs.

You'd think that with such expertise at her fingertips, someone would have stepped in to give her a quick lesson on knife handling.

Instead, it seems they all decided to let her figure it out on her own.

This approach feels reminiscent of Kendall Jenner's infamous cucumber-cutting incident, where she held the vegetable incorrectly and ended up needing her mom to call in the family chef for assistance.

Watching Meghan fumble with the knife conjures images of that viral moment.

One might expect to rush in, cheering her on as if she had just created a culinary masterpiece.

“Wow, darling, you're a genius!” he might exclaim, while viewers watch in disbelief.

Adding to the culinary chaos is Meghan's choice of knife for cutting a cake—a butcher's blade, of all things.

Yes, you read that right.

A meat knife for a delicate dessert.

Any seasoned chef would know that this is a major faux pas.

At this point, perhaps a disclaimer should accompany the show, warning viewers that attempting these techniques at home could lead to serious injury—or worse, emotional trauma from witnessing her knife-wielding antics.

If truly wants to establish herself as a lifestyle expert, mastering basic kitchen skills should be her first step.
