Welcome!

Ramadan Kareem! To mark the Holy Month, the April issue features a selection of recipes apt for Iftar gatherings at home - try our Moroccanstyle chicken tagine with sour cherries & olives (p42) or Lamb with olive & herb stuffing (p67), amongst other dishes across the magazine.

While we don’t experience Spring in all its glory in the UAE, we can make the most of seasonal produce in the market and give menus at home a Spring twist. Turn to page 35 to find vibrant dishes with spinach, squid and spring onions, in addition to shopping and culinary tips. You can also find nostalgic and authentic recipes from our team members (p45) and try a new cuisine every weekend. Celebrating Easter at home? Don’t miss our special feature including brunch specials, hearty mains with sides and celebratory desserts (p67). For little ones who want to assist in the kitchen, this month’s family recipes are inspired by fiction and sure to entice selective eaters (p85).

If you’re looking for somewhere special to break your fast with family and friends this Holy Month, peruse our Ramadan Guide or visit bbcgoodfoodme.com for the latest in Iftar and Suhoor offerings within the Middle East.

Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Ramadan and Eid Mubarak in advance!

Happy Reading!
