Date & Tahini Porridge: A Comforting Delight for the Senses

Savour the comforting flavors of Date & Tahini Porridge, a delightful breakfast that will nourish your soul. As I navigate the excitement and occasional stress of moving into a new house, I’ve been creating little pockets of peace in our apartment. These organized areas provide a sense of order and tranquility, allowing me to find solace in the midst of the chaos.

One particular challenge I’ve encountered during this transition is the absence of a fridge in our new place. This has led to lots of take-out and for me to get more creative with the limited ingredients on hand. Luckily, there’s one comforting dish that doesn’t require a fridge and has become a staple: porridge. This is the og of my experimental porridge flavours and one of my all-time favourite staples.
