Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken tagine served with beid hamine and rice (Tagine de poulet)

    • tacoquokka on March 05, 2026

      Good chicken stew. Skipped the eggs on the side. Couldn’t get preserved lemons in time, so subbed lemon juice and a lot of zest. The 1/2 lb of olives was too much for me, so may want to decrease if you don’t love olives. Used fewer chicken thighs (4 vs 6) but did not decrease the amount of the spice mix, and it was just right.

  • Yeasted semolina pancakes (Baghrir)

    • tacoquokka on February 16, 2026

      Soft, airy, spongy pancakes. I didn’t make the lavender honey in the recipe since I already had lavender honey at home, but lavender honey butter was a great accompaniment. Regular honey butter would probably be good too. Very easy to make.

  • Maldivian tuna curry with rice (Kandu kukulhu)

    • IdleExpatter on May 16, 2026

      Absolutely delicious. Easy, pretty quick, and the coconut rice is a fantastic accompaniment. This was a big winner.

  • Semolina cakes (Babousa)

    • eclairea on January 06, 2026

      This was so easy to make with big coconutty flavour reward!

  • Eid chicken pulao

    • tacoquokka on March 21, 2026

      Good one-pot chicken and rice dish, but needs more seasoning beyond what’s written in the recipe. Halved the rice but kept the chicken and vegetables the same, which was a better ratio for us. Even just adding some salt and pepper would improve it.

From the New York Times bestselling cookbook author and winner of the Great British Baking Show, Nadiya Hussain, comes an exploratory and celebratory journey of Muslim cuisine, with 30 days of main meal and dessert inspiration for Ramadan, from the many communities around the globe.

During the month of Ramadan, the long hours of daylight fasting mean that when mealtimes do arrive, food takes on new significance, as families come together to break their fast while observing the traditions and customs of the period and reflecting on their faith.

For Nadiya Hussain and her family, as for many Muslim families, when they come together to eat, she wants to make it special and meaningful, as well as offering the the sustenance they need to see them through the subsequent fast. In Rooza: A Journey through Islamic Cuisine Inspired by Ramadan and Eid, she will include both main meal and dessert inspiration for each of the thirty days of the holy month. She will also share a selection of glorious feasting recipes ideal for the Eid festivities at the end of the month.

For the recipes themselves, Nadiya draws inspiration from across the Islamic world. The intention is for the recipes to resonate with readers from across the Muslim community and from all generations, combining both a sense of the familiar and the opportunity to discover something new. Beautifully and timelessly packaged, and including Nadiya's most loved uplifting hadiths and Qur'anic quotes, this will be a book which can be gifted, treasured, and returned to year after year.
