Duchess Meghan has the sweetest reunions at the Hubb Community Kitchen: All the best photos

<a href="/tags/0/meghan-markle">Meghan</a> spent Wednesday morning (Nov. 21) chopping vegetables and packing food - and the self-declared foodie couldn't have been happier! The duchess paid a visit to the Hubb Community Kitchen, where the hugs were plenty and the reunions heartfelt as she learned how the money raised by the <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/royalty/02018091747291/meghan-markle-cookbook-grenfell-tower">group's beautiful project, <em>Together: Our Community Cookbook</em></a>, were being put to great use. <p>The royal's first solo charity project, which was released in September, <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/cuisine/02018092647504/meghan-markle-cookbook-recipes/">gathered recipes from the women</a> who had banded together to help feed their community after the Grenfell Tower Fire. Meghan also <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/royalty/02018091747294/meghan-markle-foreward-community-cookbook">penned a thoughtful foreword</a> sharing her experiences with the women in the kitchen, her memories of food and its power to bring people together - which is exactly what it has done! The resilient group, who started in the kitchen of the Al Manaar community centre, now have a newly refurbished facility - and the mom-to-be got right down to business as she donned an apron and rolled up her sleeves. <p>Click through to see the best photos from Meghan's visit... <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
Meghan looked radiant as she arrived at the kitchen clad in a burgundy ensemble by <a href="/tags/0/club-monaco/">Club Monaco</a>. She paired the brand's Sallyet dress, featuring a pretty velvet collar, with a coordinated wool coat, black tights and a chic pair of Givenchy boots. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
The mom-to-be kept her makeup to a minimum (who needs it when you've got that pregnancy glow!), wearing black eyeliner and mascara with a pretty pink lip. She wore her hair in a relaxed ponytail with tendrils tucked behind her ears. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
Meghan was greeted by Zaheera Sufyaan from the Hubb Kitchen, with whom she shared a joyful embrace, as well as Abdurahman Sayed, head of the Al Manaar Heritage Center. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images

Meghan was at the kitchen for 45 minutes, where she had many a sweet reunion and surely got some invaluable pregnancy advice! She likely hasn't seen many of the women since <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/royalty/02018092047395/meghan-markle-charity-cookbook-launch-photos-moments">hosting a launch party for the cookbook</a> in a tent on the grounds of Kensington Palace back in September. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
The expectant royal cradled her baby bump as she chatted with cooks in the kitchen. She's due to welcome her first child with Prince Harry in March or April. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
Meghan rolled up the sleeves of her stunning Club Monaco dress, threw on a pair of latex gloves and helped to marinate a huge bowl of vegetables. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
The women of the Hubb are now helping their community with new projects, including ones to serve healthy snacks to children, help the victims of domestic violence and deliver nutritious meals to maternity wards. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
The 37-year-old was thrilled to make the surprise visit to the kitchen and reunite with the women she first met back in January, when she dedicated herself to helping those affected by the tragic Grenfell Tower Fire. Some of the women have now gained their food hygiene qualifications and even started additional projects in their communities. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images 
Meghan helped to pack colourful dishes into individual containers to be delivered to homeless shelters, female refugees and homes for the elderly. The kitchen was preparing 200 meals in one day! <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images

According to <em><a href="https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-hug-grenfell-tower-community-kitchen-visit/">People</a></em>, <em>Together: Our Community Cookbook</em> has sold more than 40,000 copies in the UK alone, which translates to a whopping $358,000 in the seven weeks since it went on sale. With this funding, the kitchen is now open seven days a week instead of just two. <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/AFP/Getty Images
