Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can use plain or vanilla halva.

    I found the tahin taste to be a big overwhelming so would use a bit less next time.

    I was happy to see this serves 6 as I ate about that much myself. These are deceptively simple to make and the nuance of coffee, chocolate, cardamom, and cloves with the sesame are excellent. The flavors meld to make this something special without any flavor over powering the next. I topped mine with a little bit of maldon, because that's the right way to do any sort of brownies.
