LONDON – Meghan Markle has been working on charitable projects to help the poor and deserving people.
Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has recently helped in a signature charity cookbook as a royal to help the deserving women.
The cookbook, “Together: Our Community Cookbook,” features recipes from Muslim women of The Hubb Community Kitchen in West London who came together to cook fresh food after being affected by the Grenfell Tower fire that left 70 people dead.

The Duchess, who wrote the foreword to the cookbook, has continued to visit the Hubb Community Kitchen; proceeds from sales of the book will go towards supporting the community kitchen, helping the organization to stay open seven days a week to help those affected by the devastation of the fire, which took the lives of 71 victims.

The Kensington Palace confirmed on Monday that the duchess, a well-known foodie, has been visiting the Hubb Community Kitchen since January – months before her May wedding to Prince Harry – and “was inspired by how the project empowers women at a grassroots level.”
The cookbook was Markle’s idea, The Guardian reports after the duchess learned women could only cook hot food for their families at the centre twice a week due to financial constraints. Markle pitched the idea for a cookbook to raise funds for the women to use the centre’s facilities more.
“She saw the lovely food cooked by these women. So she goes: ‘Why not do a cookbook?’” Zahira Ghaswala told the Guardian. “At that time I thought it was a flying comment, and that was it, really. But now here we are.”
The community will need to sell about 50,000 copies of the cookbook to keep the kitchen open seven days a week. So, will you contribute to this cause by buying a cookbook?
Apart from these projects, The Duchess of Sussex will also be hosting an event at Kensington Palace in September.
