Finally got round to putting up my Ramadan decorations.. can't wait to see the boys faces tomorrow morning 🙈 Love these foil balloons from @eidparty.co.uk 🎈

Pistachio and Rose cake - my favourite combination ever @eastvillagebristol 🌹 What's your favourite cake flavour?

If you're ever in Bristol you have to try out this dish from @brewcc : Poached eggs with dukkah on labneh and pomegranate. Utterly amazing flavour combo! Need to learn how to recreate this at home but I'm sure my instapals @halal_chronicles and @ahmed_foodie could do this no problem! I'm pretty convinced now that Bristol is the brunch capital of the UK - any competitors out there?

Throwback to my Ottolenghi brunch - wish I could eat it again without all the cooking! What's your favourite Middle Eastern recipe book? I'm partial to @ottolenghi Simple and Jerusalem. Amazing salad inspiration for the summer! 😎

I'm beyond excited at my box of Ramadan and Eid decorations from @eidparty.co.uk The other day I was discussing on my instastory about how people make Eid and Ramadan exciting for their kids - well here's the answer! I've got balloons, stunning cake toppers, colourful foil balloon banners, funky Eid glasses, cake sticks (would also make super cute mini skewers) and a wooden decorative mantle piece. The kids will be so excited! So here's a chance for you to win some fabulous decorations for your own home... I've teamed up with @eidparty.co.uk to do a giveaway. £35 to spend on any items from their website and they will cover ANY shipping charges - yes that means you don't have to be in the UK to win! To enter the competition, you must LIKE this post, follow @eidparty.co.uk and @thehalalfooddiaries (me!) AND tag 3 friends who you would like to share an Iftar with this Ramadan. (Tag more if you like!) Every 3 friends tagged will be considered another entry for you. I'm giving you until Friday Jumma prayer time and will announce the winner online on Friday evening inshAllah. Goodluck and trust me this prize is totally worth it! 😀

Tada! The final result - a delicious Thai green chicken curry made after work by yours truly. This is my first time using the @halalfreshuk recipe box. I found the recipe card clear, concise and easy to follow. The recipe itself was so simple that im pretty astonished at how tasty the end result was! It's all about the magic paste they sent with this one! Follow my instastory for snippets of this dish being cooked live. And if you'd like to try a recipe box yourself, be sure to use my discount code SORTED10% for 10% off your first order. Currently they are only delivering within London.

I don't know about you guys but I've been waiting for a long time for someone to do halal recipe boxes. I'd check the hellofresh and gousto websites often to see if they'd taken simple steps to increase their captive market to include haloodies like me but alas I was always disappointed. So imagine my excitement when my social media was flooded with images of @halalfreshuk recipes boxes. Each one beautifully portioned and packaged with exciting and inventive new recipes to try out from the comfort of your own home. The end results just spoke for itself! My husband and I are busy doctors. The kids eat different food to us. It's always a challenge after work and the kids daily routine to muster up the energy to cook a healthy and tasty meal. I'm sure it's a cardinal sin for a food blogger to admit but I'm often partial to a pasta, stir fry or some grilled fish and veg (weekends are different I promise!) Basically for weekdays anything that doesn't involve much prep or cooking time ticks my boxes. So incredibly excited to try out these recipes this week - I've picked the Thai green chicken curry, spiced mince with couscous and the courgette stir-fry with black rice. Check out my instastory today for the grand reveal of what's in my box (I was like a child unwrapping birthday presents today!) I won't be cooking tonight as I'm at my mum's so will be feasting on her cooking this evening but I'll post some live cooking snaps this week from @thehalalfooddiaries kitchen!

So I'm exploring ways today to make Ramadan and Eid the most fun religious celebration for the kids and keen to hear your thoughts... I've been sent this colourful Ramadan advent calendar from @halal.sweets.company and I know my son will look forward to opening a door every day to reveal a delicious halal sweet. But I'm thinking of using it for another purpose as well.. We've been struggling a bit with bad behaviour recently (threenager 🤦) and I think I might couple the opening of each Ramadan door with one good deed that he has to tell me about. Has anyone tried this before? Parents I'm looking to you for your advice and suggestions! And thank you @halal.sweets.company again for this gorgeous gift!

Tried a new take on Shakshuka today - Braised eggs with leeks, spinach and Zaatar from Ottolenghi's Simple cookbook 💚

Quite possibly the most instagrammable drink I've ever had! The Blue Skies Latte @eastvillagebristol 💙 And so much more pretty (and delicious food)... See my stories today!

When food is this pretty you don't want to eat it 😍 okay I lie I demolished this pretty quickly! Watercress and Wild Garlic soup with poached egg. Delicious first course today @bernerstavern 👌 #Bernerstavern #jasonatherton #berners #finedining #londoneditionhotel #boomerang #soup #londonbestrestaurants #london #londondining #luxuryhotels #tooprettytoeat #food #foodphotography #foodbloggers

Cute coffee mornings in Bristol ☕ @rolling_italy Hey everyone just wanted to update you all that I've moved to Bristol temporarily. As you know I'm a doctor - my husband and I are doing fellowships out here. We don't know this part of the country very well so if you do, or you're from here, please let me know your recommendations! And keep posted as I explore Bristol... Much love 😘 #thfdtravels #movingtobristol #rollingitaly #bristolcoffeescene #coffee #coffeemornings #latteart #thatsaswaninmyfroth #independentretailers #mobilecoffeeshop #bristoluniversity #bristolhospitals #bristollife #bristolfoodie
