Megan Markle’s Culinary Adventures Spark Knife Skills Controversy

Last week, Megan Markle unveiled the trailer for her much-anticipated cooking series, “With Love,” and let's just say, the internet had quite the reaction.

Among the various moments in the trailer, one stood out and ignited a wave of commentary: Megan's rather unconventional knife skills.

Watching her handle a chef's knife felt akin to observing a child's first clumsy attempts at using scissors.

Now, I'm all for home cooking and relatable culinary shows, but if you're stepping into the role of a lifestyle guru—something Megan seems eager to embrace—you'd think she'd have at least mastered the basics of knife handling.

It raises a question: what's going on here?

Is she treating the knife like a wild beast that needs taming, or is she simply trying to impress us with a rather alarming technique?

In light of this eyebrow-raising display, I took it upon myself to consult the experts.

I stumbled upon a video featuring John Paul Hutchins from Le Cordon Bleu, aptly titled “How to Hold a Knife Properly.”

In this instructional clip, Hutchins not only demonstrates the correct grip but also ensures that you won't end up injuring yourself in the process.

Strikingly absent from his tutorial was anything resembling Megan's approach.

Who knew that handling a knife didn't involve flailing it around as if preparing to fend off an imaginary bear?

But wait, the plot thickens.

It's not just her knife skills that are causing a stir.

The real kicker?

Megan has professional chefs accompanying her on the show.

Yes, you heard that right!

With two trained culinary experts by her side, you'd think someone might have taken a moment to teach her the fundamentals of knife safety.

Instead, it appears they opted for the hands-off approach, allowing her to navigate the kitchen as she sees fit.

Watching Megan fumble with the knife brought back memories of Kendall Jenner's infamous cucumber-cutting incident.

Remember that?

Kendall was hilariously struggling to slice a cucumber while holding it incorrectly, prompting Kris Jenner to call in the family chef for backup.

Similarly, Megan's knife skills were so questionable that I half expected Prince Harry to jump up, applauding her as if she were performing a culinary miracle.

“Wow, darling, you really are a genius!”

Then there's the pièce de résistance: her cake-cutting technique.

Megan chose to use a meat knife—a butcher's tool—to slice through her cake.

Can we just pause for a moment?

What kind of chef would resort to such a method?

Should there be a disclaimer warning viewers that these techniques could lead to serious injury?

One can only wonder if there's a class-action lawsuit brewing for the emotional distress caused by her knife-wielding antics.

If Megan Markle intends to position herself as a lifestyle expert, it might be time to revisit the drawing board.

Right now, she's inadvertently teaching us all the wrong way to handle kitchen knives, and frankly, that's a lesson I'd prefer to skip.
