Jessica Mulroney,Meghan’s stylist BFF, alsodedicated an Instagram postto the upcoming cookbook.

“Women supporting women. Life is a all about sharing, laughing and #cookingtogether. This is more than a cookbook, these are beautiful stories and the ‘healing power of sharing food,'” she wrote, adding a special message directed to Meghan: “Very proud of you today.”

Meghan hasmaintained a small group of friendsthat she keeps on speed dial since she became an official member of the royal family.

“Meghan has lost touch with some of her close friends from before the wedding, which has been tough,” a source recently told PEOPLE. “She’s finding it hard to know who to trust.”

And now that close-knit group of friends is rallying around her as she takes on her first big venture as the Duchess of Sussex.

Duchess of Sussex supports cookbook

But they were only able to do this for two days a week. When Meghan asked the women why the facility was not available a full week, she was told it was due to funding.

In addition to suggesting the group create a cookbook of their favorite 50 recipes, she also wrote the book’s foreword.

“Melding cultural identities under a shared roof . . . 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,” Meghan writes.

“Through this charitable endeavor, the proceeds will allow the kitchen to thrive and keep the global spirit of community alive.”
