Staying safe

The recipes and activities in this book are

designed for children and adults to do together.

Adult supervision is essential when using sharp

knives, graters, or scissors; cooking on the

stove; or using mixers or blenders.

Before cooking, always wash your hands

thoroughly. It's a good idea to wear an apron to

protect your clothes and tie your hair back if

it's long.

When cooking, an adult should be on hand to

take things in and out of the oven, and to do

any deep-fat frying. When deep-fat frying,

wear long sleeves and stand well back. Do not

fill the pan or fryer more than one-third full

with oil, and never leave it unattended.
Hooray for the holidays!

Holidays and festivals are special days that bring joy and

fun into our lives with feasting, dancing, special rituals,

and stories. They help us honor and remember the things

that are important to us, connect with our families and

communities, and mark the stages of the year.

All of us have different holidays we like to celebrate. Some

festivities are similar, and some are more unique.

In this book, twenty-five creative people from all around the

world open their doors to share their favorite holidays with us.

Each person tells us why the holiday is so special to them and how

they celebrate it, and shares the recipes and activities they do to

celebrate, from cinnamon-dusted Carnival children doughnuts,

to Chinese dragon costumes, to felt Halloween pumpkins.

At the end of this book, you'll find tools to help you discover

even more about holidays and some fun facts about how

birthdays are celebrated too.

So what are you waiting for?

Come celebrate with us!
january 1

Hi, I'm Saeed Al-Rubeyi. I'm a fashion

designer in Brighton, UK. The first day of

the new year is important in many cultures

and it has lots of traditions, like eating coin-shaped food to

bring wealth or opening the windows to bring good luck.

People are full of hope and new plans, and sometimes

they make New Year's resolutions for what they would like

to do in the coming year.

I have a big meal with my family and go for a walk

along the shore. Some years have happy memories

and some have sad ones, but New Year's Day always

brings a fresh start, and that's really exciting.

Prepare the vegetables:

Slice the onion, eggplant, and potatoes. Break the cauliflower

into small florets. Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan

over a medium heat. Fry each vegetable separately until

lightly browned on each side. Remove and set aside.

Assemble the maqluba:

Grease a flameproof casserole dish or shallow pan with olive oil. Thickly slice the tomatoes, then cover the

base of the pan with them. Add a layer of fried onions, then fried eggplant, then fried potatoes and fried

cauliflower. Next, sprinkle in the rice and give the pan a little shake so the grains fall into the nooks and

crannies. Then sprinkle over the baharat. Add 3 cups (710 ml) water and season generously with salt.

Cook the maqluba:

Cook over a medium-high heat until the water level drops below the top of the rice, then cover the pan and

reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and a golden crust has started

to form on the bottom. Leave it to stand for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a large serving

plate. Don't worry if it's messy-it always tastes amazing!

Nature walks are fun at any time of year,

but there's something extra special about

getting outside on New Year's Day.

Being in nature-listening to the sounds, feeling the

textures, smelling the fresh air-helps our brain, our

mood, and even our immune system, so what better way

could there be to start the new year?

Why not create your own New Year's tradition by doing

an activity on your walk? Perhaps you could talk about

what your hopes are for the coming year, then collect one

natural thing that you like-such as a pebble, a feather, a

leaf, a twig, or a pine cone-to represent each hope. When

you get home, you could put them in a special jar
