The Islamic State (IS) militant group has launched its own cookbook for their wives and daughters who are going to be engaged in the task of "cooking for Allah's soldiers".
A dish called "Mushy Date Balls" is believed to be a favourite among IS fighters as they raid villages, burn homes and grab hostages.
The recipe compilation is a product of the IS' Al-Zawra school that aims to educate the wives and daughters of IS militants, reported Dawn News.
The IS has even released its recipes online for those who want to try jihadi cooking and cannot make it out to its territories in Syria and Iraq.
The IS fighters are reaching a new ground in their militant recruitment as they appeal directly to women publically in such a concrete way.
