From @sami_tamimi: “Meet ‘Boustany’, my latest vegetable-led cookbook celebrating the dishes and cultural traditions of Palestinian cuisine.
“Boustany” in Arabic mean “my garden” and is the most personal book I’ve written so far, filled with colourful, down-to-earth recipes from my childhood.”
🎟️ Tickets for our raffle are £2.50 each ❤️ They will be drawn on 12/12 🔗 Just head to our bio/website
And it’s not only vegetables. See slide 2 for the heart of every table:
“In Arab culture, bread is never just bread. It’s life, generosity, and the language of hospitality. We call it khobz or ’aish, “life”, because it’s at the heart of every table and every gathering.
Bread is the first thing offered to a guest, the thing we break to share stories, and the ritual that turns even the simplest meal into something sacred. Pulled straight from the oven, ready to scoop up feasts, bread carries memory, comfort, and centuries of tradition in every fold.
It’s a symbol of abundance, kindness, and respect. A reminder that the best meals begin with something humble, handmade, and shared. In our culture, when bread is on the table, you are home.”

A beautiful thing about all of our raffle prizes is that they can be enjoyed by you or as a gift for others. And if you do share with others, you also spread the love for Palestine, Sudan and Jamaica.
