My latest cookbook, Falastin, co-written with Tara Wigley, is a love letter to Palestinian cooking, and given the importance of Eid in the Palestinian calendar, it promises plenty of recipes to help you mark the occasion, from recipes for a feast to sweets and pastries to bake to give to others. What follows are some of my favourite dishes to recreate at home to mark Eid or any special occasion. You’ll find some of these recipes available here on The Happy Foodie, and the rest are waiting for you in the pages of Falastin. Eid is a time to gather with loved ones, to express your gratitude and affection for them and to give back to your community through the sharing of good food. Whether you plan to prepare a full feast or are simply inspired to bake a batch of something delicious for your neighbourhood, I hope the joy and spirit of Eid find their way into your own kitchen this year. Eid Mubarak!
