She said: 'I actually made my own tahini because I couldn't find tahini anywhere.
'It's basically sesame nuts blended up with like oil and stuff. It's quite easy to make actually.'

The TikToker said the chocolate mould was probably the most expensive purchase at €10.
Miriam begins frying the kataifi in butter in a pan.
Once fried, she adds a spoon of tahini and two large spoons of pistachio cream.
Miriam said: 'Then you just mix it all together. This is what the filling looks like.

'I think it looks pretty good. I'm going to melt the chocolate. I think if I do like a bar and a half it might be enough.
'I know dairy milk chocolate is a bit tricky to melt. So if you are doing it with dairy milk just be a little bit careful because it burns really easily.'
Once the chocolate was fully melted, Miriam put some pistachio nuts in the mould before adding the chocolate.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

Opinion: Irish agriculture should take a lesson out of Schwarzenegger's book
Did you hear Arnold Schwarzenegger recently tell the world to stop whining and encouraging everyone to get on with their lives in the most effective way possible? Ostensibly, he was highlighting the key role that individuals can play in tackling the challenge of climate change – saying that it is not all about big government. Schwarzenegger is totally correct in making this fundamental point. But it was the 'stop whining' line that really struck with me, particularly its resonance for Irish agriculture and many of the organisations working within it. All too often, our farm bodies spend their time highlighting the challenges and problems facing farmers. And, yes, there is a need for this. But there is another – and more relevant – story to be told about Irish farming and our rural areas. And it is this – our farmers are best in class, and the Irish countryside is our most precious resource. And these fundamental facts must be celebrated every day of every year. The reality is that, just like the rest of the world, Ireland has become an extremely urbanised society. Most families living in our cities and towns have lost touch with the rural way of life. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Source: Yet these same urban-based consumers are fascinated with the food they eat and how it is produced. They need to hear this narrative about the quality of Irish agriculture. And the people best placed and qualified to tell this story are Irish farmers themselves. And it is not all bad news on this front. The local agricultural shows are now in full swing across the country. They play a fundamental role in highlighting the role played at the very heart of the Irish economy by the rural way of life. The upcoming Agri Aware Open Farm initiative is playing a similar role. It is providing members of the public with the opportunity to see the implementation of top management practices within commercial farm settings. And we need so much more of this. Thankfully, the mood within production agriculture is extremely upbeat at the present time. Tillage apart, most farm gate returns are currently at historically high levels. And long may this continue to be the case. Given these circumstances, it might behove our farming organisations to publicly confirm this reality while at the same time thanking Irish consumers for their continuing support. If the public are receiving messages of this nature on a regular enough basis, then they will be more likely to be on the farmers' side at those times in the future when production agriculture needs all the support it can get. And, as we all know, crises within Irish farming are a very regular occurrence.

'It's what I grew up with': Ed Sheeran says he identifies culturally as Irish
POP SINGER ED Sheeran has said he identifies culturally as Irish – despite being born and raised in England. The 34-year-old Galway Girl singer, who was brought up in Suffolk, has a large Irish family and said he would spend his holidays in the country as a child. 'I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with,' Sheeran admitted on the latest episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast. 'My mum's family is very, very small, it's her and her parents, and my dad's family is… he's got seven brothers and sisters. 'We'd spend all of our holidays in Ireland. My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain. He added that his Irish family culture is 'something that I'm really proud of and grew up with'. 'I feel like just because I was born in Britain, doesn't necessarily mean that I have to just be (British), there's loads of people I know that are half-this or quarter-this,' he said. 'I don't think there's any rules to it. It should be how you feel and how you were raised and what you lean into.' Advertisement Asked if he gets 'a lot of love' in Ireland, he said: 'I'd say it's basically my second home musically. I'd say Ireland is the place that I am most successful musically.' Sheeran previously told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that he has Irish family and spent most of his childhood summers, birthdays and Christmases in the country. Also on the podcast, Sheeran reflected on the drawbacks of fame and said he is 'really sensitive' to people taking pictures of his children. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Louis Theroux (@officiallouistheroux) 'My first daughter, six weeks after she was born, we hadn't sent any photos of her whatsoever, but there was paparazzi outside our house that got a photo of her, and it was in the paper and I just found it weird that some strange old man that I'd never met was the only person with an image of my kid on their device. 'It's a strange trade-off because, obviously, to be successful in the music industry, you end up being rich, famous and successful, and those things are things that people go, 'Well, that's the trade-off.' 'But my kids have not signed up to that, and I find it weird that it's normal to take pictures of other people's children if they're famous.' Sheeran is married to Cherry Seaborn, and the couple have two children. The four-time Grammy-winning singer also revealed that he does not own a private jet and likes to travel via train. 'I like the environment, I like trees. I'd find it hard to justify. No one's perfect. When we're doing intense promo trips, there will be the odd time', he told Theroux.
