Ramadan begins this Monday, March 11 for more than 5 million French people. The holy month of Muslims is also synonymous with a feast of taste buds.

“It’s like Christmas but for a month,” summarizes chef Abdel Alaoui, famous for the dishes he prepares live for the guests of “C à vous”, on France 5. This native of Oujda, in the north-east of Morocco, is full of tasty anecdotes linked to Ramadan.
