What\u2019s the best thing about preparing food in Ramadan? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With long hours of fasting and a wide range of choice, eating healthy in an elaborate, appetizing Iftar. The best thing to do is to prepare and eat foods made from fresh ingredients, cooked in a healthy way for a nutritious Ramadan meal. This will keep you nurturing by setting a good example for your family and friends. Most of all, I strive to pass my own joy and happiness on to others through my signature dishes and through the experiences that I create for my guests.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the worst?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I think the biggest obstacle is for my cooks who fast and do not try the food before it is served to the guests and that all food must be served on time.<\/p>\n
