Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Hummus (Hoummos bi tahini)

    • muddypuppy2 on October 27, 2023

      Everyone I know says this is the best Hummus they have ever had.

    • rabab_odnnhs on March 11, 2026

      Really easy and turned out great. I used soaked chick peas (overnight) Will be my go to recipe.

  • Hummus with sun-dried tomato

    • Barb_N on May 03, 2026

      Hummus is so easy to make and so adaptable. I added slivers of both sun dried and oven roasted tomatoes as one was sweet and one was tart. I would add more next time.

  • Cod baked in citrus tahini (Tajin)

    • NealStreet on January 04, 2022

      This worked really well and was relatively simple, despite the lengthy ingredient list. We served it over rice - it was delicious and a little unusual. Worth noting that the recipe says it serves six, but the yield was more suited to four - in fact two of us ended up eating the lot, but that probably says more about us than the recipe.
