When Amy’s dad, Rick, came up with Rick’s Recipe—tehina and honey—he didn’t realize he was reviving an ancient potion for youth, beauty and strength, a perfect combination for Rosh Hashanah.
Add this cake to your menu for any holiday or Shabbat for an Israeli touch. Deceptively simple to make, the cake’s rich flavor will please any vegan and yet it’s also the perfect complement to a meat meal.
My dad Rick’s Recipe for Tehina and Honey tastes great on apples, but the peaches were so good this summer that mom experimented putting the mixture on the peaches and serving it with vanilla ice cream (soy, if necessary).

Don’t limit tehina to falafel and hummus; It plays nice with every food group. Mix it into oatmeal cookies, drizzle it on yogurt or stir it into red curry chicken.
