TAHINI CREME BRULEE

Origin Jaffa, Lod  /  Residence New York City

"We grew up in a family of 9 children in Jabal Al Taj in Amman, next to the largest refugee camps in the world, Al Wehdat, where my mother was raised. As a child, I was always looking for ways to get my hands-on sweets, and my mother used to prepare a simple pita bread sandwich, filled with tahini and sugar and tahini has been my favorite treat to this day."
