In January 2018, as she was settling into London, Meghan Markle met the group of women, who gathered to cook twice a week in a communal kitchen at the Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre.
"I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together," Markle, who has continued to make regular private visits to the kitchen, said in a statement.
Markle championed the cookbook project as a way of ensuring the kitchen could operate more regularly, and it is hoped that profits from the sales will help keep the kitchen open up to seven days a week.
"I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together," Markle said.
Supported by The Royal Foundation, "Together: Our Community Cookbook" features over 50 recipes and celebrates "the power of cooking to bring communities together."
The Duchess, who is quite a foodie herself, would often share recipes from her kitchen on her now defunct lifestyle blog the Tig.
