ILHAN MOHAMED ABDI

With simple, satisfying meals suited to the quiet rhythms of suhoor and iftar, as well as generous Eid spreads to share with family and friends, this is a rich tribute to the foods that gather us during Ramadan and beyond.

Drawing on flavours from East and North Africa, the Middle East and the wider Muslim diaspora, this collection of recipes has been crafted with care for the way we cook today – incorporating dishes that have been inherited, reimagined, or newly formed. Ilhan Mohamed Abdi shares her recipes for delicious and sustaining dishes such as Yemeni baked eggs, aromatic Somali rice and soft honeycomb bread, drenched in cardamom syrup.

By weaving flavours and techniques from various cultures this cookbook celebrates the essence of Ramadan –embracing diversity, sharing stories through food and creating a collection that resonates with individuals from all backgrounds – enriching their experience with a tapestry of dishes and traditions.

ILHAN MOHAMED ABDI lives in London with her young family and is of Somali heritage. After leaving her corporate job she started cooking meals that had all the flavour and heritage of the dishes she’d grown up enjoying, adapted for a modern cook who might not have time for the traditional marinades and fermentation processes, and began posting online in 2020. Her Ramadan Recipes and Eid Recipes series have proved hugely successful across TikTok, Instagram (@Ilhanm.a) and YouTube.

Healthyish HighProtein proves that you can fuel your body with highprotein meals made from wholesome, flavour-packed ingredients; no sacrifices on taste, and easy enough to make every day.

Quite the polar opposite of being a cookbook author, or a food content creator, EMMA PETERSEN qualified as a solicitor in August of 2023. After devoting many years to attaining her quote unquote dream career as a corporate lawyer in the City, it wasn’t until she got there that she realised she was slowly losing everything that was most important to her: time for cooking, exercising, seeing family, socialising with friends and sharing her love for food online. Emma quit and threw herself into growing her social media platforms (which she had run as a ‘side hustle’ since 2016) and developing her culinary skills.

LET'S EAT MEAT

RECIPES FOR PRIME CUTS, CHEAP BITS AND GLORIOUS SCRAPS

TOM PARKER BOWLES

Eat meat, but eat less and eat better – that, if any, is this book’s philosophy. The 120 recipes gathered together by award-winning food writer Tom Parker Bowles embody his approach to meat-eating, which is buy the best you can, and use every last scrap to eke out the flavour.

The dishes have often been influenced by Tom’s travels and range from Chinese Roast Duck or Goan Pork Curry to Sichuan Green Beans and Risi e Bisi, with optional pancetta chucked into the pan.

There’s the fabulously named ‘Britalian’ lasagne, Gravy Eggs made after a Sunday Roast, and adventures with offal and wild meat such as Braised Ox Cheek Pie and Game Pudding.

In the ‘No Meat’ chapter dishes can sing on their own, or happily sit alongside a meat dish, such as a beautifully spiced Aloo Dum, and Tom’s recipes for stocks mean that every last scrap is put to good use.

As Tom says, ‘Good food is about flavour’, and this book has oodles of it, with recipes so delicious you will return to cook them again and again.
