Hey there!
I am the face behind the recipes and lens! My name is Nidal and as you probably can tell i have a serious passion for cooking and creating delicious, affordable plant based meals.
As a child, living in an Australian/Lebanese house hold i was surrounded by delicious home cooked meals most nights. Once i left home i started to understand and experience the reality of spending money on food out, and how it not only drains your bank account but also never really satisfies you as much as a home cooked meal (in my opinion).
I became a vegetarian in 2016 and in that year i started to experiment with how i could create delicious meals from home, for a more affordable price. This lead me to many hospitality/cooking jobs that continued to inspire me in the kitchen. I cooked for my house mates, partner, mother and friends and started sharing those recipes through my personal instagram account.
In 2018 i fell pregnant and started to take my health a lot more seriously. I stopped purchasing preservative packed items at the grocery store and began to fill my fridge with a lot more nourishing whole foods. This not only made me feel great after each meal, but i found my overall mental health improved drastically.
Which is what lead my partner and i to make the switch to a plant based diet. From there it was obvious to me that cooking/creating healthy meals and sharing them with the world was something i wanted to take a lot more seriously.
And that was the beginning of Tahini Thyme. I created an instagram page to share and inspire people with my recipes, hoping that it would help those who are struggling with how to cook/use more plants in their cooking. I hope you enjoy the recipes i am sharing and please feel free to message me through instagram or my email account for any further questions
