  • Is fancy craft chocolate worth the price tag?
    Like many cities, Seattle has a long history of turning pre-made cacao into chocolate confections. But there’s a new kind of chocolate maker in town: Small, artisanal makers that are crafting “bean to bar” chocolates that retail for as much as $13 a bar. Seattle Times food writer Jackie Varriano dug into this shift, and the kind of chocolate these new operations are churning out. She joins Tan for a taste test of three Seattle-area brands and they ask the question: Is this fancy treat worth the high price tag? Read all of Jackie’s reporting on Seattle’s chocolate scene in The Seattle Times.

  • ‘I didn’t know tahini could taste like this’
    Tahini is a simple ingredient — toasted sesame seeds, ground into an oily paste. It had a moment in the food fad cycle in 2016, but has since faded into the background. Local writer and cookbook author Rachel Belle thinks that is a mistake. In her new book Open Sesame!, she argues that tahini deserves a spot in the center of every kitchen. In this episode, Tan visits Rachel for a blind taste test of four tahinis, and learns the role the ingredient plays in Rachel’s homemade hummus recipe. Rachel’s book Open Sesame! is out now. She also hosts local food show The Nosh on Cascade PBS and the podcast Your Last Meal. Recommendations in this episode: Haddar by Baracke tahini 365 Whole Foods Market tahini Soom tahini Aviv Hummus Bar, Capitol Hill — try the classic hummus bowl and pita bread Seattle Eats is a production of The Seattle Times and KUOW, part of the NPR Network.
