A place at the table / by Faruqi, Saadia,author.(CARDINAL)497384; Shovan, Laura,author.(CARDINAL)396833;
Ages 10 to 12."Sara and Elizabeth could not be more different. Sara doesn't know anyone in their huge middle school, which is completely unlike the small Islamic academy she's gone to her entire life. Elizabeth has her own problems: her best friend is ditching her for the sixth-grade cupcake queen, and her British mother is sad all the time. When the two are thrown together for an afterschool cooking class, they don't exactly hit it off. But then they find that they make good partners. Becoming more than cooking companions is another story, though. Can they overcome their differences and learn to trust each other enough to become true friends? Or are some things just not meant to be?"--Back cover.

Fatty fatty boom boom [large print] : a memoir of food, fat, and family / by Chaudry, Rabia,author.(CARDINAL)414356;
Doodh, dhai, makhan : milk, yogurt, butter -- Pakoray, shakory -- Attay ki bori : a sack of flour -- Jal bin machli : a fish out of water -- Daal may kuch kala : something black in the daal -- Kabab may haddi : a bone in the kabab -- Ghaans phoos : rabbit food -- Gosht khor : meat eaters -- Chawal ki bori : a sack of rice -- Gur naal ishq mithaa : a love sweeter than jaggery -- Epilogue : Goal weight -- Recipes.""My entire life I have been less fat and more fat, but never not fat." According to family lore, when Rabia Chaudry's family returned to Pakistan for their first visit since moving to the United States, two-year-old Rabia was more than just a pudgy toddler. Dada Abu, her fit and sprightly grandfather, attempted to pick her up but had to put her straight back down, demanding of Chaudry's mother: "What have you done to her?" The answer was two full bottles of half-and-half per day, frozen butter sticks to gnaw on, and lots and lots of American processed foods. And yet, despite her parents plying her with all the wrong foods as they discovered Burger King and Dairy Queen, they were highly concerned for the future for their large-sized daughter. How would she ever find a suitable husband? There was merciless teasing by uncles, cousins, and kids at school, but Chaudry always loved food too much to hold a grudge against it. Soon she would leave behind fast food and come to love the Pakistani foods of her heritage, learning to cook them with wholesome ingredients and eat them in moderation. At once a love letter (with recipes) to fresh roti, chaat, chicken biryani, ghee, pakoras, shorba, parathay and an often hilarious dissection of life in a Muslim immigrant family, Fatty Fatty Boom Boom is also a searingly honest portrait of a woman grappling with a body that gets the job done but that refuses to meet the expectations of others. Chaudry's memoir offers readers a relatable and powerful voice on the controversial topic of body image, one that dispenses with the politics and gets to what every woman who has ever struggled with weight will relate to."--

All mixed up / by Tawney, Raj,author.;
"It's 2002--less than one year after the September 11th attacks--and sixth-grader Kamal Rao is tackling a brave new world of challenges, including figuring out who he really is and how he fits in. Even with New York City in its backyard, the suburban town where he lives is anything but open-minded. That means Kamal--frequently picked on and feeling ostracized--usually spends his time alone, making mud pies in the backyard or cooking recipes with his mom and grandma from his family's three cultures. Then, one day, a Pakistani immigrant named Jaz arrives at school, entering Kamal's life and challenging his sluggish movement through the world. As the two boys forge a friendship over their love of exploring the outdoors and eating good food, the newcomer begins to show Kamal how being 'different' isn't a bad thing at all. For the first time, a fire is lit within Kamal--but what will happen when questions of Jaz's origins and his intentions begin to come into question at school and in their town?"--
