How do you eat black tahini?

Food is more fun with a black-tahini twist: I like it in a turmeric dressing over salads, grain bowls, and roasted or raw vegetables—especially roasted cauliflower. Try it on sesame noodles, in hummus, obvi—baba ghanoush, too.

What can I replace ground almonds with in a cake recipe?

If you do, then other ground nuts work almost the same. The best nuts as an alternative would be blanched (skinless) hazelnuts as they also have a mild flavour, like almonds, and so the flavour of the finished dish wouldn't be adversely affected. Cashews, macadamias and blanched peanuts are also quite mild.
