This is the small detail in Meghan Markle’s cookbook that proves she is immersing herself in British life
The £9.99 book, called Together: Our Community Cookbook, has already become a bestseller on Amazon
MEGHAN Markle’s new charity cookbook to help those affected by Grenfell Tower is already a bestseller, and it hasn’t even been released yet.

Despite growing up in LA, the American actress chose to use English spellings for the book’s introduction.

It has even knocked JK Rowling’s latest Robert Gabbraith offering, Lethal White, and Jamie Oliver’s Italy down the charts.
The cook book includes 50 recipes from women who run the Hubb Community Kitchen, an initiative based near the site of the Grenfell Tower in London.
Some of the recipes are family favourites and all have been created by the cooks who support not only residents affected by the fire but others in the community.
The Hubb Community Kitchen was set up to help people affected by the tragedy.
Meghan first visited the kitchen in January and has made a number other private trips to the centre to meet volunteers and learn more about their work.
She discovered that they could only open two days a week due to limited funding, so proposed creating a cookbook to raise money.
Meghan helped put the group in touch with a publisher and her Royal Foundation provided assistance with legal and administrative issues.

The 128-page book, published by Penguin Random House, is on sale on the website.

All proceeds will go back to the Hubb and the book will be available in stores this week.
"I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together," Meghan wrote in a foreword.
"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."
