Fatimas

Fatima’s has been serving bold, fresh flavour to Aucklanders since 1995–now, with more than 100 recipes, you can bring a little of that magic into your own kitchen.

This book is packed with the dishes and techniques that have kept our kitchen humming for 30 years. From slow cuts to zesty salads, from punchy sauces to late-night pitas, each recipe is designed to be approachable, satisfying and full of flavour.

These are recipes for any day of the week and for cooks of all skill levels. Each one teaches a technique or flavour combination that reflects Fatima’s way of cooking — layered, herb-forward, spice-rich, and always grounded in the bold, vibrant ingredients of the Middle East, reimagined here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Whether you’re here for the garlic sauce, curious about harissa, or just want to cook food that tastes as good as it looks, Fatima’s Cookbook brings the colour, spirit, and soul of our kitchen into yours.
