Ramadan, the month of fasting, is starting this year on August 21, 2009. During the course of this special month, families will be joined at the dinner table twice during a day. The first will start on the Arefe night, where they will eat before the sun goes up (sahur) and then they will be together again for the dinner following the sundown (iftar).



Some dishes like, borek, baklava, gullac will be even more popular during this period. In the evening hours, people will eat and gain back energy, and then in the night time, they will eat food that will keep them full during the day, without making them too thirsty.

Ramadan is a meaningful month, when we all apreciate how important food is for us all.

Have a great month of Ramadan.
