The Ramadan Cookbook by Anisa Karolia
Food writer Anisa started her blog and YouTube channel to share authentic family recipes, with a focus on her favourite dishes that she enjoyed growing up. In this beautiful new cookbook, Anisa shares 80 delicious recipes for Ramadan and beyond, with ideas for early morning meals for suhoor (an early meal eaten before fasting) and hearty, satisfying ideas for iftar (the breaking of the fast), alongside celebration dishes for sharing with friends and family during Eid al-Fitr – the end of Ramadan.

An easy and cheerful make, perfect for Red Nose Day on 17 March Melt 200g dark chocolate and 150g milk chocolate in a large heatproof bowl, set over a pan of barely simmering water. Remove the bowl from the pan and leave to cool for 10 minutes to let the melted chocolate thicken up a little. Pour onto a large lined baking tray and spread out to about 30cm x 25cm. Add pairs of eyes from a 1 x 25g pack edible eye decorations, add sweets as ‘red noses’ (we picked these out from 2 x 125g packs M&Ms) then scatter with 2 tbsp decorative sugar sprinkles*. Leave to set at room temperature. Cut or break up into pieces, each with a red nose face. *Check your sweets and sprinkles are vegetarian and gluten-free if required.
