Reviews

Praise for Yvonne Maffei, her blog, and her book, My Halal Kitchen: "Yvonne Maffei... writes a popular cooking and nutrition blog, My Halal Kitchen, from her home north of Chicago... Her simple recipe for medjools drizzled with tangy creme fraiche is excellent for transforming date doubters into date lovers." --Julia Moskin, The New York Times "Simple, family-friendly recipes shine in My Halal Kitchen, a cookbook that is at once exciting and approachable. She takes you on trip around the world from the family dinner table." --Jennifer McGruther, cookbook author and founder of NourishedKitchen.com "A cook, food writer, and self-described Halal foodie." --CBS News "Finally! Modern, observant Muslims can celebrate (with non-alcoholic bubbly, of course) a cookbook that shows how to make what everyone loves to eat in America right now." --Dianne Jacob, author of Will Write for Food: The Complete Guide to Writing Cookbooks, Blogs, Memoir, Recipes, and More "I love eating out, but I'm glad to have this manual to halal home cooking!
