Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly set to release her first cookbook in early 2026, capitalizing on the success of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. The cookbook is expected to feature recipes and hosting tips showcased in the lifestyle series.
The cookbook is said to align with the "soulful, California-cool aesthetic" of With Love, Meghan. Recipes may include dishes like her "single skillet spaghetti" and "rainbow-themed fruit salad," as well as her signature jams and marmalades. Hosting tips from the Netflix series are also expected to be included.
The cookbook is slated for a spring release and will likely coincide with an expansion of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, into homeware items like candles and signature scents. While earlier As Ever offerings included crepe and biscuit kits, the brand appears to be shifting its focus. Meghan's cookbook will be her first aimed at adults. She previously wrote the foreword for Together: Our Community Cookbook in 2018 and the children's book The Bench.
Following the launch of As Ever and With Love, Meghan, the cookbook marks a further foray into the culinary arts and home entertaining space for the Duchess. The book will focus on cooking and hosting, without family drama.
The release of the cookbook comes amid some shifts in Meghan and Prince Harry's media ventures. Their original multi-year deal with Netflix, reportedly valued at $100 million, is not being renewed. However, Archewell Productions, the couple's media company, has a new first-look deal with Netflix. Meghan described this new deal as a sign of strength, offering flexibility to work with other partners.
With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix in March 2025. The series "reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to's and candid conversation with friends, new and old,". Meghan shares personal tips and tricks related to cooking, gardening, and entertaining. Season 2 was released in August 2025, and a holiday special was released in December 2025. Netflix is reportedly monitoring the reception of the holiday special.
While some critics have questioned Meghan's culinary skills, the cookbook is expected to capitalize on the popularity of With Love, Meghan and her established brand. The cookbook and expansion of As Ever suggest a continued focus on lifestyle and home-related products and content for the Duchess of Sussex.
