My dear brothers and sisters, peace.

I have noticed that many Somali men and women are visiting my site. I would just like to remind everyone that not all the recipes are Somali. Many are for Ramadan.

I would really love your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely, Amina

    Asalamu aleykum, sister Amina.
    My husband just emailed me your link. I think it's wonderful, that you took the time and effort to combine this. May Allah bless you InshaAllah.

    I'm from Somalia myself and so is my husband. It's refreshing to see this blog. I think the reason my husband emailed me, is so that I can cook more Somalian food, lol!

    I will inshaAllah use these recepies as they look very yummy.

    Ramadan Karim & soon to be Eid Mubarak, InshaAllah.

    Hey Tammy/Amina,

    I found you on a Somali site. You're very creative and I love your recipes. Cute family, mashallah.

    By the way, there is a Somali cook book by Barni Ali if you're interested. Bye and take care.

I would first like to thank my wonderful neighbor Marium for showing me how to make this. Masha'Allah, she is such an expert that she is able to make 2 stacks of eight instead of 8 stacks of 2. This delicious Ramadan favorite comes out nice and flaky. Wrappers can be made in advance and frozen.
