'Why Not Cook With Meghan?'
Anne Burrell joked about cooking with Meghan Markle in an interview before she died.
She went on to joke she wanted to be on Meghan Markle’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan, sharing, “I’d go to the opening of an envelope. Why not cook with Meghan?” As far as Meghan’s As Ever jam, Burrell said she wasn’t “really a jam girl.” “Occasionally, I make them for my husband,” she continued. “I make scones and we have jam then. Other than that, I wouldn’t say I’m super jammy.”
