Mama’s Kitchen

Zahra is a schoolgirl whose grandmother (Mama in the title of the story) lives at home with their family. Mama is a fantastic cook; she often makes food to order for customers. One day, Mama falls ill and she goes to hospital. Mama dies soon after and the family buries her that day. Some time later, Zahra’s mom and aunt sort out Mama’s belongings and share special memories of their mother. Zahra’s mother decides to collect all Mama’s special recipes and publish a cookbook. The last page in the book gives a recipe for Mama’s butter beans curry.
