75 recipes spanning cherished classics and modern interpretations, bringing the soul of Somali cooking to the world stage.

Known by many names, the cape of spices, the nation of poets, and the land of cinnamon, Somalia is nestled in the Horn of Africa and is blessed with fertile fields, rich in spices, and endowed with the longest coastline in mainland Africa. This location and natural abundance have made Somalia a corridor between east and west, and a central point in global trade and migration, dating back millennia.   

In Soomaaliya, Ifrah F. Ahmed tells the story of her country through its history, its food, and its people. Somalia’s role in the spice trade yields xawaash, the most distinctive of Somali flavors, a heady blend of cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and turmeric that’s used in everything from marinades to stews. Cardamom also finds its ways into thin, fragrant crepes, sweet fried beignets called bur, and bariis, rice spiced with cardamom and cumin. This rice is paired hilib ari, tender goat meat stew that is a product of Somalia’s deep roots in herding and agrarianism. Baasto, or pasta, a relic of the long Italian colonial rule, is served with a range of simple tomato sauces to ragus. The bountiful waters supply fish freshly caught and fried. And for afternoon tea, a pot of spiced shaah, served with thick slices doolsho, an aromatic cardamom cake. These are a just a few of the over 70 recipes included that introduce the foundational flavors and tastes of the Somali palate.  

Through profiles of food producers, writers, and chefs, Ahmed shines a light on the many Somalis, at home and abroad, working to both preserve and transform the cuisine. Expansive and generous, and fueled by a deep love, Soomaaliya is a celebration of the richness of Somali food, and the remarkable resilience of its people.

Great for iPad kids👍
Color: Sky Blue
I bought this in 2023/2024 and it's still intact and usable after hundreds of food stains and me accidentally dropping it. Thank you for protecting my iPad, very great product. Otherwise, my mom would've beat my ass for breaking the iPad. PSA, the case looks the same as the picture😛

Great case for the price! Love the color!
Color: Sky Blue, Color: Sky Blue
I’ve had this case on my iPad (A16 11th gen) for a few months now and it’s held up really well. It still looks good with only a few minor scuff marks, which is expected with regular use. The front cover has a slight magnetic feel, so it stays closed nicely, and I like that it folds back to prop the iPad up for watching or typing. It’s not super bulky but still gives good protection. Also has a pen holder spot on the side! Overall, it’s a great affordable option if you want something simple, functional, and durable without spending a lot!
