Mafruha Ahmed’s Debut Cookbook ‘Extended Lunch’ Brings Creativity to the Table

Chef Mafruha Ahmed from Young Space presents her first cookbook titled “Extended Lunch“, transforming ordinary lunches into a vibrant, nutritious journey. Initially circulated as a 2024 newsletter offering recipes to friends and creative peers, the book now offers 60 user-friendly recipes categorized under lunch, dinner, and dessert categories.

As a gamer with roots deeply embedded in Bangladesh, I’ve had the privilege of attending culinary school and honing my skills in the kitchen for years. With every recipe I craft, I urge fellow home cooks to trust their intuition, tweak dishes to suit their palate, and embrace the flavors of the season. My signature dishes, such as the captivating grilled leek mimosa and tantalizing marinated courgettes with butterbean stew, showcase my daring, ingredient-focused style.

As a gamer immersed in the virtual world of delicious delicacies, I’ve found myself captivated by the vivid medium-format snapshots of Abena Appiah and the detailed illustrations of Sophie Glover, showcased in the game manual called Extended Lunch. This manual also contains the E.L Zine, offering an unpolished, authentic glimpse into the messy, yet beautiful process of home cooking. This zine collects tales and visuals from early testers of the recipes, serving as a reminder that culinary greatness lies not only in precision but also in the joyous experimentation that precedes it.

Excitedly announcing my anticipation for the upcoming launch of “Extended Lunch” in May! I invite you all to join me in embracing a more leisurely pace, savoring the art of cooking, and crafting meals that foster connections between us. Pre-order your copy today through Worms’ webstore!
