Welcome to Litsy!

I love recipe books but I hav dread so many now sometimes it feels like there‘s nothing new under the sun. However, this book was filled with mouthwatering recipes I can‘t wait to try which are something a little bit different. I use the organizEat app now so I can borrow recipe books from my library and easily catalogue and keep any yummy recipes I find!

I was out of work for 2 weeks with Covid and found this magnificent array of community cookbooks on my desk when I got back. These were sent to me by a couple library staff. There are recipes such as George Eastman's Onion Au Gratin, Seven Apple Butter, Bishops Bread, and A Dainty Flummery. Last night I spent a few hours reading through these, all of which were fascinating. I ADORE community cookbooks. There‘s nothing better.

Fabulous charitable cookbook featuring diverse recipes from all over the world and benefitting the survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire in London. The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, writes the forward and has become an integral part of the community. There are great stories woven in with the delicious recipes like all the best cookbooks! #litsycooks

A lovely friend gave me this beautiful book as a hostess gift last night..... such a thoughtful gift....

I read both the forewords this morning (from the Duchess, and from the women at Hubb kitchen) and was brought to tears by their words.... this is such an amazing project, empowering women, caring for their diverse communities and sharing their stories through food and love....
Plus the recipes look delicious!

Cannot wait to grocery shop and make meals this weekend! I love how HRH The Duchess of Sussex is getting involved with helping her new community. 👏🏻👏🏻 Proceeds from the book help the Hubb Community Kitchen and related community projects through the Royal Foundation.
