Ilhan Abdi: The Ramadan Kitchen

This week as millions of people all over the world are
celebrating Ramadan, we’re with London-based Somali-Egyptian food
writer, Ilhan Abdi to talk about her book, The
Ramadan Kitchen.


A former Amazon corporate employee, she left to focus on cooking
content, gaining 265k Instagram followers (@Ilhanm.a) through
live Ramadan cooking sessions inspired by her mum’s dishes during
lockdown, and has since become a mother herself.  She
tells us about her recipes inspired by Ramadan traditions,
including suhoor and iftar dishes like Somali rice, samosas, and
syrup-soaked doughballs.


Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Ilhan including a
recipe from her book, and a beautiful prayer that means so much
to her.
