Ramadan Kareem

Ramadan Kareem! As Ramadan takes place in summer, many of us are fasting long hours this year, some of us over 20 hours. This is an opportunity to keep the objectives of Ramadan in mind, to think about how privileged our lives are, as well as to cleanse ourselves and recharge mentally, physically and spiritually. Wishing you all a month full of peace, serenity, and happy family gatherings around the iftaar table. And, of course, loads of delicious new food experiences!

Ramadan

As you may know, weve been on hiatus for a while, since the beginning of the revolution in Libya. Weve been thinking about whether we should update the blog, given the situation back home. In some ways, it didnt seem right to continue as everyone in Libya is dealing with the loss and daily hardship of war. However, five months since the first protests in Benghazi, we have decided to return. We started this blog last Ramadan, and so much has changed since then that Ramadan will be very different this year, for all of us from across the region - but it will still be a month of fasting and of prayer, with families gathering and breaking their fast together around the iftar table.

Wed like to thank all the followers who have remained with us, despite the unexplained hiatus, and a special thank you to those of you who took the time to comment.

We hope you enjoy the coming recipes, and have a great Ramadan.

Ramadan Mubarak!
