Celebrating breaking fast at iftar

Iftar is the meal you enjoy after breaking fast at sunset. It is the main meal and a meal of celebration when you can finally eat and drink after a long day of prayers, fasting, and abstaining from different habits and, of course, food and drinks. It happens immediately after sunset when you break fast with dates or light snacks or starters like soup, then pray, and then continue with iftar with all the meals that have been prepared during the day or evening. The meal can consist of anything from savoury snacks with salads, potato mash, etc. on the side and casseroles, oven-baked dishes, etc.

We have some delicious recipes to give you inspiration for iftar starters and snacks as well as recipes for many delicious easy-to-prepare iftar dishes and tasty iftar salads.

Preparing for a day of fasting at suhoor

Suhoor is the first meal of the day and the last meal before sunrise and a new day of Ramadan fasting begins. Though not celebrated in the same communal way with friends and guests as iftar, it is tradition to wake up for suhoor and get food and drink before the fast.

Sometimes, suhoor looks a lot like breakfast with bagels, toast, pancakes, and scrambled eggs, but other times it is more savoury and dinner-like dishes.
