Celebrating Ramadan

Observed by millions of Muslims worldwide, Ramadan is an interesting mix of Fasting austerity and celebration means nil by mouth from sunrise, so it's crucial to eat and drink wisely to avoid dehydration and maintain energy levels. The two main meals during this month are Suhoor (served pre-dawn) and Iftar (served at sunset). Suhoor should be a hearty meal to provide energy throughout a day of fasting.

Having a list of quick and easy-to-make dishes for suhoor is useful. Think homemade muesli oats with dates and berries or Egyptian egg salad, which contains slow-burning fava beans, rich in fibre and protein.
