About

Hi, I’m Fatima, and welcome to Taste of Tahini!

I started this blog because of my personal journey with gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy. I wanted to enjoy traditional Middle Eastern and Syrian cuisine—the foods I love—without the sugar spikes that can come with typical recipes.

This inspired me to create recipes that are both authentic and healthy, focusing on delicious, nutritious meals that are safe for blood sugar while still feeling like home-cooked comfort food. Here, you’ll find everything from classic lentil stews and Bamyeh to low-GI treats that you can enjoy without compromise.

Whether you’re managing blood sugar, eating healthier, or just love Middle Eastern flavors, my goal is to make cooking and sharing these meals simple, joyful, and family-friendly.

Welcome to my kitchen—where tradition meets taste!
