Aisha Khalid never planned to spend her days trapped in routine, working at a small café while life passed her by. Once, she had dreams-dreams filled with the warmth of home-cooked meals, the laughter of family, and the scent of saffron and honey lingering in the air. But after losing her mother, everything changed. Now, coffee tastes bitter, and the future feels distant.
Then there's Zayd Rahman-steady, persistent, and always returning to the same café, ordering the same drink. He sees things in Aisha that she refuses to acknowledge. The way she carefully prepares his coffee, the way she clings to an old recipe book like a lifeline, the way she exists in a world she no longer feels part of.
When Aisha stumbles upon a letter left behind by her mother, urging her to rekindle the lost art of cooking, she is forced to confront the past she has long buried. With each recipe she recreates, she begins to remember-to taste, to feel, to live again. And as Zayd lingers in her life, offering quiet encouragement and unexpected warmth, Aisha must decide: will she continue existing in the shadows of yesterday, or will she take a chance on something new?
A story of love, loss, healing, and rediscovering the flavors of life, A Taste of Home is a heartfelt novel that reminds us that sometimes, the smallest acts-brewing coffee, writing recipes, or sharing a meal-can bring us back to who we truly are.
