Bites Fil Beit Ramadan: Zucchini with meat and chickpeas
Ramadan offers a whole new challenge to cooking Egyptian food. The breaking of the fast, Iftar, is the main menu of the day and consists of an array of dishes. Traditionally the meal starts with juice, to prepare the stomach for the feast that is to come, and a savoury soup. Appetisers are up next, followed by a main course and a sweet dessert completes the meal.
Iftars are meant to be shared and inviting your close friends and family for a home-cooked dinner-cum-breakfast can be daunting. But not to worry; during the month we will be giving you suggestions for full menus with a complete recipe for one of the dishes.

Bite Me Cairo: The Shock of the New
One thing America has going for it is supermarkets. For a Cairene, it’s like walking into a museum. The superabundance of everything you couldn’t possible need is unnerving.
What your shisha says about you
In an attempt to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon, we have decided to take a look not at the stereotypical places and flavours, but rather at the smokers themselves.
