It's a season of change for Caroline Stanbury. The Ladies of London alum has switched up her address, coupled up with a handsome new beau, and come up with a whole new way to get dinner on the table. And this just in: Caroline has been cooking her meals herself. 

Caroline makes no secret about her distaste for cooking, and previously had a personal chef to prep her meals. But as she explains in a recent YouTube video, Caroline no longer employs a culinary pro. 

Clarifying that she's preparing a roast chicken with onions, potatoes, and carrots "out of need, not joy," the Dubai mom also gives the backstory on why she's been honing her cooking skills.

"As most of you know from Ladies of London, I can't cook, won't cook, didn't like it; I always had a cook," she says. "But when we moved into this house, to be honest, well from lockdown, it was like: another person, another man in the house, another opinion — I just couldn't bear it anymore. I know I sound spoiled, but honestly. Not to mention, we were spending so much money on groceries it was a joke." 

And though she never saw herself as one to roast up a chicken in the middle of the afternoon, it sounds like Caroline's taken well to her new household duties. Her boyfriend, Sergio, who's standing in the kitchen with her in the video, adds: "I have to say something: She's getting so much better at cooking!"
