This love morphed into ‘Cook with Anisa’, a YouTube channel to share her favourite authentic family recipes and inspire viewers to learn how to make delicious home-cooked food, particularly during Ramadan. The recipes in this book include a broad range of flavours and international influences, from tacos to donburi, curry to pasta, and include speedy midweek dinners, one-pot recipes, fast lunch ideas, and plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. It’s a flavourful, aromatic curry with a butter and tomato base – wonderfully creamy and tastes out of this world. Food is important during the holy month, both abstaining from it and coming together over it at the end of the day. In this completely modernised reissue of the 2009 classic Mary Berry’s Baking Bible, Mary has set out to create the essential guide for bakers.
