February was always a time of fasting for our grandparents. They had a good reason – a period of lighter eating is beneficial for the body. But while they lived on basic foods, we’re making our fasting period vibrant and colourful.

In the third week of February, our menu will take us to the Middle East, where we’ll enjoy chickpea falafel with tomato couscous and a yoghurt dip. Because light meals don’t have to be plain or boring at all.
