Meghan Markle has been making private trips to support Grenfell families in her first solo project as a Royal family member.

The Duchess of Sussex has been helping produce a cookbook by a group of women using cooking to heal in the aftermath of the Grenfell fire.

Meghan first visited the kitchen in January and has been making trips to the Hubb Community Kitchen since to meet the women involved and learn more about their work.

The cookbook consists of family favouriterecipes and have all been created by the cooks who supported Grenfell residents by providing food in the aftermath of the tragedy.

Meghan put the group of women in touch with a publisher and her Royal Foundation provided help with the legalities and administrative issues.

All the proceeds made from the cookbook will to back to the Hubb and will be available to buy from next week.

In a foreword, Meghan wrote: "I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together.

"Melding cultural identities under a shared roof, it creates a space to feel a sense of normalcy in its simplest form, the universal need to connect, nurture, and commune through food, through crisis or joy something we can all relate to."

Munira Mahmud, one of the contributors, said she approached Al-Manaar to see if she and her friends could use the kitchen there and the Hubb began from there.

In the book, she wrote:"Last summer, we were placed in a hotel and I had no kitchen to cook for my family.

"It was very emotional for me to get in the kitchen. The moment I started cooking I was in tears. I didn't know why though. I was just excited to be back in the kitchen again.

"Word started to spread the mums from my sons school came along and they told their friends, too. Soon there were women from different cultures all cooking, swapping recipes, talking and laughing together."
