Your questions
When does Ramadan start in 2027?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around February 8 and end around March 9 with Eid al-Fitr. The exact dates depend on the sighting of the moon; in France, they're confirmed by the Grande Mosquée de Paris.
What to eat to break the fast?
Traditionally, dates and a glass of water or milk, then a hot soup before the main course.
What to eat at suhoor to last the day?
Filling foods that release their energy slowly: rolled oats, whole-grain bread, eggs, yogurt, fruit, and plenty of water.
Which dishes can I make ahead during Ramadan?
Soups, couscous, tagines and saucy dishes can be made the day before, and they're often even better reheated.
