Summer Pea Soup with a hint of lemon and almond.

Tahini (or techina) is a basic ingredient in the Israeli kitchen. It is eaten everywhere and by everyone; smeared

A Turkish Breakfast: A small bowl of couscous, hard boiled egg, hummus, green olives, labane cheese, whole wheat bread and shredded halva.

An Iraqui sandwich special: techina, fried eggplant, hard boiled egg and lettuce on whole wheat gebetta .

Breakfast done right: poached eggs

We opted to piece together a sandwich made from the week’s leftovers. Bread+ homemade tahini + leftover roasted vegetables = delicious.
