If you bought a jar of tahini on impulse or out of curiosity, used some of it, and now the remainder sits patiently at the back of your pantry, this class is for you! You’ll discover a variety of ways to use tahini, from simple recipes that require only mixing this smooth, wholesome paste with other ingredients, to baking and sweet creations. The tasting menu will include several tahini spreads, a tahini-and-seeds loaf, tahini cookies, and tahini chocolate fudge. The class will combine demonstrations and hands-on experience. All the prepared dishes will be served throughout the event or packed to take home. Limited to 12.
Hila Krikov is the founder of Sweet Tahini, a food company that specializes in making tahini-based desserts. Born and raised in Israel, she became passionate about cooking Middle Eastern staple dishes after her family relocated thousands of miles from home to western Texas, and she felt homesick for her childhood's comforting flavors. In the cooking and dining experiences she hosts, Hila shares the region’s diverse culinary traditions alongside her home cooking skills, to inspire her guests to embrace these flavors in their kitchens.
