During last night's A Very Berry Christmas special, Prince William admitted that he isn't a pro in the kitchen. “Catherine is definitely the one who cooks, not me,” he said.

But it wasn't always that way. Back when the Cambridges were at St Andrews University, Prince William wooed Kate with his pasta sauce-making prowess.

At one point during the program, British baking icon Mary Berry asked Kate: "Does William ever cook for you?"

Kate's reply perhaps indicates that William is downplaying his cooking skills. "He sometimes does actually. He's very good at breakfast. University days, he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that's when he was trying to impress me, Mary. Things like bolognese sauce and things like that," she said.

As it turns out, the Cambridge kids are also quickly becoming fans of Italian cuisine. During a separate part of the program, Kate revealed that they'd recently been making pizza, with Berry's dough recipe, of course.

When asked by Mary Berry, “Do you do a bit of cooking with your children?” Kate responded: “Yes, I really enjoy it. Again, for them to be creative, for them to try and be as independent as possible with it. Actually one of the last things we cooked, together, was your pizza dough. We made pizzas with your pizza dough recipe...They absolutely loved it."

The duchess also shared that they grow their own vegetables at home, and that “Louis absolutely loves beetroot.” As for Princess Charlotte, she's is a fan of Charlotte potatoes, naturally.
