Last year, Meghan Markle made headlines when she announced that she was championing a cookbook that was created with the women of The Hubb Community Kitchen in London. The cookbook, called Together: Our Community Kitchen, made several bestseller lists and ended up raising funds for the organization.

Now, Meghan is putting a spotlight again on Hubb Community Kitchen in a new Instagram post on her shared account with Prince Harry: “It was just one year ago that The Duchess of Sussex made a special visit to the women of The Hubb Community Kitchen to help prepare meals for those in need,” the post said, alongside photos of Meghan, several women behind the food kitchen, and a photo of the incredible food. “The connection between The Duchess and these women began a year prior, as she supported them in the creation of ‘Together,’ a charity cookbook which celebrates the power of cooking to bring communities together.”

Spotlight on: The Hubb Community Kitchen It was just one year ago that The Duchess of Sussex made a special visit to the women of The Hubb Community Kitchen to help prepare meals for those in need. The connection between The Duchess and these women began a year prior, as she supported them in the creation of “Together”, a charity cookbook which celebrates the power of cooking to bring communities together. The cookbook showcases recipes from women whose community was affected by the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London. Their incredible stories and personal recipes placed “Together” on The New York Times Bestseller List and The Sunday Times Booklist. Today, the women at the Hubb Community Kitchen continue to have a positive impact in their community, across the UK, and around the world. Whether it’s providing a safe space for women and children to come for a hot meal, supporting local schools, serving free lunches to senior citizens, partnering with the Red Cross to provide lunches for refugees, or feeding the homeless - the Hubb helps and heals through their support and sustenance. Thank you, ladies, for the leadership and inspiration that your cooking and love of community brings to all those around you. We remain so very proud of the good work that you continue to do, and cannot wait to see what 2020 brings! Photo © PA / Hubb Kitchen / Jenny Zarin

The post went on to remind people that the cookbook showcased recipes from women whose communities were affected by the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London. “Their incredible stories and personal recipes placed Together on The New York Times Bestseller List and The Sunday Times Booklist,” the post said.

The post also gave an update on the kitchen itself, noting it (1) helps provide a safe space for women and children to come for a hot meal, (2) supports local schools, (3) serves free lunches to senior citizens, (4) partners with the Red Cross to provide lunches for refugees, and (5) feeds people experiencing homelessness.

The post also included what seems to be a personal message from Meghan. “Thank you, ladies, for the leadership and inspiration that your cooking and love of community brings to all those around you,” she wrote. “We remain so very proud of the good work that you continue to do, and cannot wait to see what 2020 brings!”

The Hubb Community Kitchen was one of the first causes Meghan championed as a duchess. She even hosted a palace luncheon for the kitchen, where she gave her first public speech as a member of the royal family.
