Speaking from the red carpet to E! News at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, The Office and The Mindy Project star, 45, said she loved having the Duchess of Sussex, 43, cook for her.

“I had had my baby, and I think I was, like, two months postpartum,” Kaling told E! News on Live From E!: Golden Globes.

“And she texted me and was like, ‘Do you want to be in my show?’ And when you hang out with Meghan, you know the food is gonna be good.

“And so, it’s just nice to have someone else be cooking for me. And I was like, ‘I’ll come to Montecito and have you cook for me and go to your garden.’ And that’s what we did.”

In the trailer for the upcoming show, which is set to premiere on January 15, Kaling is seen talking to Meghan in the kitchen as she does some baking.
