Meghan has made a series of secret visits since January to the Hubb Community Kitchen at the Al-Manaar Muslim cultural centre in west London to help women cooking for those affected by the tower block fire that killed 72 people in June 2017.

They hope sales of the volume will raise cash to keep the kitchen going and expand it.

She has written the foreword for the book, titled Together, which showcases more than 50 recipes from around the world.

In her foreword the Duchess writes: “I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together.”

Meghan, 37, is pictured on the front and back covers dishing out meals or helping to carry food at the kitchen in North Kensington.

She also writes about her own favourites, including the classic American soul-food staples of collard greens, black-eyed peas and cornbread, as well as her mother’s gumbo.

She recalls how the “Southern Californian girl in me always craved fish tacos”.

First opened in September last year the Hubb, which means love in Arabic, welcomes cooks on Tuesdays and Thursdays but organisers hope it will become a seven-day operation if the cookery book raises £250,000 from sales of 50,000.
