Arwa El Masri

A gentle read - very interesting to have a peep into another culture. Is the story of how Arwa ended up in Australia and how she manages to stay true to her faith and retain the best of her Moslem culture and adopt the best of Australia's customs. I would love to have a cup of tea with her. Also gives insight into the rules for being a good Moslem as stated in their holy book the Koran - quite different from how many Moslem Governments interpret and twist the rules to their own agenda.

A Muslim woman's story with her favourite recipes placed throughout the book. It is the story of her childhood and her adult years and her marriage to famous Australian rugby league player Hazam el Masri. It tells of how she coped being a Muslim woman in Australia and how things changed when she decided to wear the hijab,(headscarf) and it tells of how it was to be married to someone famous.
