Jennifer Aniston’s hummus recipe has been praised by actress Kathy Najimy as “second only” to her Lebanese mother’s.
Najimy shared a video of herself reacting to tasting the Friends actress's hummus, calling it “delicious”.
"This is second only to my mother, my Lebanese mother who made hummus for 70 years," the Hocus Pocus 2 actress said. "This is so authentic and delicious and spicy. You have to package this, or at least send it to me."
Aniston often shares her love of cooking with the world, and in 2015, spoke of her interest in releasing a cookbook at some stage in her career.
"I would like to do a lifestyle thing, for people who struggle with dieting. I could just make anything for a diet taste delicious," she said in an interview with Yahoo!. "I'm a good alchemist … I can mix certain things together that are all very healthy, but you don't feel like you're depriving yourself in any way."
Aniston and Najimy have been friends for several years, and often share snippets of their friendship — including Thursday’s dinner date — on social media.
Both of Najimy’s parents were Lebanese, and her mother, Samia, immigrated from Lebanon to the United States in 1946.
In a 2020 interview for YouTube series Makers at Home, Najimy said her mother was the “greatest cook on Earth”.
“[Cooking] is kind of a peaceful thing, I do really like it,” she said. “My mum was the greatest cook on Earth, I don’t cook anything like she does, but I like it.
“My husband is obsessed with fatayer, I attempt to make them as good as my mum and sometimes one will come out OK. But I love cooking Lebanese food.
“Tabbouleh is a lot of prep, but Lebanese food is the best food.”

How to keep control of your emotions
If your investment decisions are being dictated by emotions such as fear, greed, hope, frustration and boredom, it is time for a rethink, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG, says.
Greed
Greedy investors trade beyond their means, open more positions than usual or hold on to positions too long to chase an even greater gain. “All too often, they incur a heavy loss and may even wipe out the profit already made.
Tip: Ignore the short-term hype, noise and froth and invest for the long-term plan, based on sound fundamentals.
Fear
The risk of making a loss can cloud decision-making. “This can cause you to close out a position too early, or miss out on a profit by being too afraid to open a trade,” he says.
Tip: Start with a plan, and stick to it. For added security, consider placing stops to reduce any losses and limits to lock in profits.
Hope
While all traders need hope to start trading, excessive optimism can backfire. Too many traders hold on to a losing trade because they believe that it will reverse its trend and become profitable.
Tip: Set realistic goals. Be happy with what you have earned, rather than frustrated by what you could have earned.
Frustration
Traders can get annoyed when the markets have behaved in unexpected ways and generates losses or fails to deliver anticipated gains.
Tip: Accept in advance that asset price movements are completely unpredictable and you will suffer losses at some point. These can be managed, say, by attaching stops and limits to your trades.
Boredom
Too many investors buy and sell because they want something to do. They are trading as entertainment, rather than in the hope of making money. As well as making bad decisions, the extra dealing charges eat into returns.
Tip: Open an online demo account and get your thrills without risking real money.
