In Doy’s garden
Log it in Doydum and a row of pumpkins sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.
Tahini halva is a crumbly, sweet block made from sesame paste and sugar, sometimes marbled with cocoa or studded with pistachios. In Turkey it is a breakfast-table and winter favourite, eaten in slices with bread or on its own.
It is dense, so even a thin slice weighs more than it looks; a kitchen scale helps here.
