Nobody eats lamb better than Arabs. If you need proof, just visit an Arab family this Eid Al Adha and you’ll find every meaty and juicy part of lamb chopped, cooked and garnished in hundred different mouth-watering ways.

From Lamb shanks dipped in sweet and tangy pomegranate sauce to slow-cooked juicy gravy with rice – you’ll be amazed at how they can turn this exotic meat into dishes SO filling and heavy, you’ll stay full for couple of next days.

If you’ve lived anywhere in the Middle East, you probably know what we’re talking about, if not then you’re in for a sweet savoury surprise, normally referred to as atayef.

Atayef is the Middle East’s version of the pancake and that’s just the beginning of what this dish is all about. These thin, lacy and stuffed delicacies represent the holy month of Ramadan like no other.

The blessed month of Ramadan is right around the corner. This means, every morning (for 30 days), one-fifth of the world’s population will unify to abstain from worldly pleasures. Almost 2 billion Muslims will wake up at dawn to observe a fast till dusk.

It’s almost mesmeric to see thousands of families and hundreds of nationalities to follow a single schedule of life. From their passport colour to their daily feast, everything differs YET the spirit of the holy month remains universal.
