00:13
places.

mother cook for everyone every day in the evening and they really and truly enjoy the
00:39
spirit of Ramadan when they end the fast every evening and have an Iftar with this extended
00:45
family.
00:46
It's a joyous occasion and we are going to ask Muna about the secret recipes and the
00:51
traditions that she follows to have a very fulfilling and satisfying Iftar and Suhoor.

As a tradition, we always have the soup, that's where we are starting our course and today
01:41
