Summary

Pre-order Nadiya's beautiful new Ramadhan cookbook now

During the month of Ramadhan, the long hours of fasting mean that when mealtimes do arrive, food takes on new significance, as families come together to break their fast while observing the customs of the period and reflecting on their faith. Every meal becomes an event, planned and looked forward to, a chance to revisit favourites, embrace traditional and heritage recipes, or take the time to try new things.


Rooza is Nadiya Hussain's culinary tribute to the holy month, leading readers on an exploratory and celebratory journey through Muslim cuisine, shining a light on the rituals, traditions and incredible variety of dishes from across the Islamic world, and discovering recipes that feel familiar and others which represent something new.


With main meal and dessert inspiration for each of the 30 days, plus a selection of glorious feasting recipes for Eid, this is a beautiful and timeless book to treasure, give as a gift and return to year after year.

Ramadhan Kareem from Nadiya's kitchen to yours.
