Reviews
"This is the incredibly rare book that discusses the diversity that exists within the celebration of Islam." - Betsy Bird, Librarian, @FuseEight
"A fantastic combination of story and cookbook. Filled with recipes from around the world, this truly shows how globally Ramadan is observed and celebrated." - @PictureBookPlaydate, Instagram
★An exceptional book about Ramadan that celebrates the breaking of the daily fast and the sharing of the transcendent power of food. - Sarah Pousty, School Library Journal
It's Ramadan, and the inhabitants of Rahma Road can't wait for their iftar, the breaking of the fast. Everyone's working hard to prepare their most delicious dishes to share. Great for reading straight through or skipping around, this cookbook covers Ramadan basics (What happens during Ramdan? Why is the iftar so significant?), highlights its importance for Muslims, and shows the care that goes into iftar, all while sharing recipes representative of the global Muslim community. The recipes are thoughtfully curated--from Nigerian jollof rice to Pakistani chicken tikka to Mexican elotes--and range in difficulty. The book alludes to the level of supervision required by noting which character is completing each step. The recipes are clearly written, with ingredient lists in metric and imperial units. Each includes a description of the dish, serving size, and preparation and cooking times. Community iftars are much-anticipated events for many Muslims during Ramadan, and Sohrabi's brightly colored digital illustrations warmly capture that spirit. Some specialty ingredients are required, but backmatter advises readers to check the international aisles of local grocery stores; also included are important definitions, additional recipes, and an authors' note. - Kirkus Reviews
"Omar Gutta's slight narrative leans into sensory perceptions, while Osman's 24 easy-to-follow recipes and Sohrabi's vibrant illustrations showcase the diversity of global cuisines" - Publishers Weekly
