Hey there. We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, authors of three dozen cookbooks, including our latest: THE LOOK & COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE. (You can find a copy here.)

We love to share our passion for food and cooking with you. On this episode of our podcast, we've got a one-minute cooking tip about fried eggs. We're in the kitchen with a great, easy, and vegan (!) recipe for chocolate tahini cookies. And we'll tell you what's making us happy in food this week.

[00:50] Our one minute cooking tip: how to make sunny-side up eggs.

[03:20] We're in the kitchen, making soft, fudgy chocolate tahini cookies. They're a one-bowl wonder, inspired by Phil Khoury, who is the head pastry chef at Harrod’s and was on our podcast a few episodes ago.

Here's how to make the cookies. Heat your oven to 325F/170C convection. Melt 6 1/2 ounces/180 grams of chopped dark chocolate in a microwave. Melt it in 15-second bursts, stirring after each. Cool for a few minutes, then stir in 1/3 cup/100 grams tahini (sesame seed paste), 3/4 cup/180 grams dark brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Then stir in 7 tablespoons/100 grams of plant milk, followed by 1 1/3 cups/150 grams all-purpose or plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drop by 50 gram (a little less than 1/4 cup) balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, flattening a bit with a rubber spatula about halfway through the cooking process. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before chowing down.
