In this issue

In this issue, you can find updated bakes (page 26) as well as healthy and vegetarian recipes for the weekdays. For a hearty Iftar spread with a focus on dried fruits, and inspiration for your Eid meal, turn to page 30 and 34.

What says comfort more than a decadent pudding? Gather the ingredients and make a weekend activity out of baking. Sweet and indulgent, take your pick from peanut butter and jam pudding, tiramisu meringue roulade and banoffee pie, to name a few scrumptious options. Turn to page 42 to get started.

The May issue also highlights regional news, dining deals, and Eid getaways, for those looking to escape to cooler climes, relax (safely) and rejuvenate over the long weekend.
