It’s never too early to prepare for Ramadan, including planning meals and gathering inspiration. This year, I encourage everyone to think well ahead about eating healthier, simplifying recipes, prioritizing local and fresh ingredients, and even growing some of your own produce where possible. Ready to take on the challenge?
We’ll explore these ideas more soon, insha’Allah. In the meantime, you can take a look inside my cookbook, Summer Ramadan Cooking, for inspiration to create fresh, flavorful, and quick meals for family, friends, and yourself.
About the giveaway
I’m offering one digital copy (a downloadable PDF) of the cookbook, valued at $14.99 USD. This downloadable edition is perfect for printing and organizing your Ramadan menus in advance so you can focus on what matters most during the blessed month. If you’re unfamiliar with Ramadan and want a clear, respectful overview of the fast, meal rituals, and related observances, this book includes helpful context. It also contains resources for sourcing halal and specialty items for Ramadan and Eid.
To enter, leave a comment sharing what you do at this time of year to prepare for Ramadan—whether mentally, physically, domestically, spiritually, or in other ways. I’d love to hear your traditions and strategies. One winner will be chosen at random to receive the downloadable copy.
The giveaway closes on Sunday, March 28, 2015 at 12:01 AM CST. Please read the MHK Giveaway Guidelines to enter.
