In anexclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Duchess of Sussex expands on the role that food has in her family.

“Some of my favorite childhood moments are the meals that my mom would make,” she says. “She’d make a lot of soul food. I remember she’d taken a Thai cooking class, so every week we had Thai BBQ chicken and spring rolls.”

Meghan adds, “I remember those flavors so well, and I want my kids to have those same formative memories of things that I cook. We call them Mama Meals, and those are the ones that I hope they come back to when they’re older, when they’re married, and they have their own kids, and they go, ‘Oh, let’s have a Mama Meal.’ And it’s the same roast chicken I’ve been making since they were little.”
