Product Information

The recipe was fairly straightforward: you combine the dry ingredients then add the eggs and remaining items.

In the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, a group of local women gathered together to cook fresh food for their families and neighbours. Why this has come up in a search for a book by Ms Markle. This was written by a group of women who survived an awful tragedy and did something positive and life affirming by bringing people together via food. Doesn’t food play an important role in bringing people together? So they put together a cookbook to raise money for their community. Together is a storybook of this West London community, showcasing over 50 delicious recipes from the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen and including a foreword by HRH The Duchess of Sussex. This community of women became known as the Hubb Community Kitchen – Hubb means ‘love’ in Arabic. The women of the Hubb Community Kitchen describe it as a place of good food, love, support and friendship. After being displaced following the Grenfell tower fire, some of the local women needed a place to cook fresh food for their families. They began to use the kitchen at the Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre, where the women who worked there had been using the facilities to cook for the community. They all shared the kitchen for two days every week, preparing food and eating together. Word spread and more local women began to join in, embracing community and supporting their neighbours in their time of need.

The photos of the women and the dishes are amazing, and the little short introduction to each dish by the creater is a feast in itself. If it's cake," he began, "let it be cake! If it's bread, let it be bread. I don't know what I'm working with here." His uncertainty didn't appear to affect his appetite: "I just like food," he explained as he carefully extracted the olives and sun-dried tomatoes, pushed them toward the corner of his plate, and piled the cake's remains onto his fork. "Is there meat in here?" (There wasn't.)

The recipe, which was written by Cherine Mallah, is a tuna, olive, and sun-dried tomato cake. I had to try it—even though "Harry" generally loathes every ingredient it calls for besides cheese. Then, you top the whole saucey situation with eggs and serve it from the pan. But not until, I realized, the strong scent permeates your entire being and building: My guests said they smelled what this Duchess was cooking from down the hall. This is a book about community connections. These are recipes shared by women from many countries, collectively cooking after Grenfell Tower fire.

Every dish tells a story of history, culture and family, and each has been developed to use few ingredients and easy methods so that anyone can cook these personal recipes.Beautiful! A wonderful collection of recipes with pictures. A lovely project and forward just completes it all.
