I am always awestruck seeing the rich and intense Islamic culture. It is a true reflection of spirituality where one needs to look within oneself. The patience and dignity of the people fasting is commendable. Meals are served before sunrise, called suhoor, and after sunset called iftar, and eaten with family or with the local community.

The fast of Ramadan teaches us all to respect food. If you face the hardships with composure and togetherness of family and community it is not less than a festival and so is fasting for Ramadan. I have a collection of sweets, Iftar snacks, and delicious curries devoted with love to this season.
