"Date of the Day" is a collection of some of the top date combinations featured in Ayesha Erkin's social media series. The series, which started during Ramadan 2020, was an extension of the Erkin family dinner table and aimed to bring people together through food. Ayesha created a new date combination every day and asked her family to review it alongside her, sharing their experiences online. The result was a beloved series that has brought joy to many, and this book is a tribute to the Erkin family, friends, and online community who have made it all possible.

From Donut Dates to Jammy Onions and Mascarpone Dates, this book has over 30 recipes ranging through sweet, savory and combination options! A crowd pleaser during Ramadan, and beyond.

Join Ayesha and her family in this celebration of food, fun, and community as we explore the delicious world of dates!
