How to cook a royal dinner in the style of Meghan Markle

The Duchess of Sussex, known under the name of Meghan Markle, last week presented the cookbook "Together: Our Community Cookbook". Collection instantly became a bestseller on Amazon, and the first edition is already sold out.

The book is a collection of recipes gathered by women whose families had lived in the tower Grinfell, north London, where in the summer of 2017 killed 72 people due to fire.

Markle committed unscheduled visits to the Al-Manaar mosque, which has become a haven for those who have lost their shelter, and found that the residents formed a cuisine called "Hubb", which in Arabic means "love." Due to lack of funds it was difficult to maintain a constant work canteen, so the duchess offered to arrange a charity collection with the help of books. This is the first major charity event, which was organized by Megan since the wedding.

The presentation was made in a truly British manner: on the closed outdoor terrace. Markle was not afraid to soil her dress, actively cope with the food distribution. Prince Harry was caught in the way he hid behind a few pieces of samosas - fried stuffed envelopes.

The recipes included in the book are diverse and cover all categories of dishes from decadent chocolate drinks like red wine to the classic lunch of bean soup. On the pages you can easily find a chicken curry with coconut, Persian chicken with rice, stewed eggplant, chili avocado, plum cake and spicy mint tea - a true inspiration for foodies.

To receive the Duchess herself had prepared lemon cake, similar to the one that was served on her and Harry's wedding.
