Fatimas has served over a million customers since 1995 from their bustling Auckland premises. Now you can enjoy over 100 of their best Middle Eastern and Mediterranean recipes in the comfort of your own home. This is aromatic food full of flavour. For cooks of all skill levels, each recipe features layered, bold ingredients, with plenty of herbs and spices.

There are plenty of standout recipes:

• Our Turkish Eggs – the garlic yoghurt and spiced butter elevate this dish to something spectacular.

• Healing Pot Roast Chicken – the turmeric and ginger are not only flavourful, but also good for your health.

• Watermelon, Feta & Herb Salad – as they say, something a little but glamorous.

• Fatimas Falafel – their famous recipe!

• Delicious Harissa Pumpkin – such a great dish, this can be a main dish, not just a side.

• Harissa Lamb & Butter Bean Stew – a comforting stew, best served with crusty bread.

• Citrus Almond Cake – quintessential Middle Eastern and perfectly zesty.

Fatimas is a superb, beautifully presented hardback.
