A few days into Ramadan and most of us start looking for the perfect time to throw a bigger and better Iftar party than last year.

With the blazing summer sun this Ramadan, thirst is perhaps a bigger concern than hunger, for most.

Ramadan coinciding with summer this year means we have to take extra care about hydrating, which makes refreshing drinks during iftar a must!

As we enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that comes along with Ramadan, we cannot help but wonder everyday what to prepare for iftar. Making a meal seems to get difficult, especially after a busy and hectic day at work when we have barely any time left to cook before the call to prayer.
