With Loving Memory of Our Mummy,
Mrs Zubeida Ebrahim Essa Hassim
Sister, Daughter, Wife, Daughter-in-Law, Mother, Grandmother & Great Grandmother.
Cooking & Feeding her large extended family was something our Mummy was very fond of.
Her recipes are a testament to the love and care she put into her food.
Walking into her kitchen was a treat for your senses; the smell of fresh butter ghee, working of the rotis by hand or the braising of the curry – this was where the magic happened.
These recipes are her legacy.
A collection of recipes that remind us of our childhood – where we came from and where we are today. Each recipe is bound by a memory, bittersweet. The love our wonderful & selfless mother put into all her food was always felt (and tasted) by each one of us, from our school lunches to the Eid meals, to the endless snacks that our father loved. We remember her everyday, at every meal and how we all wanted to, and still strive to be, as meticulous and perfect as her.
JazaakAllah to our Mummy for teaching us life lessons along with the Art of cooking.
May Allah (SWT) grant our parents & our loving brother the highest stages in Jannatul Firdous.
آمين
