A clear, approachable guide to the world of sesame, from halva, tahini, and sesame oil, to togarashi, gomasio and furikake, with 80+ vegetarian-forward recipes, from the founder of popular tahini outfit Seed+Mill in New York’s historic Chelsea Market.
ONE OF EPICURIOUS’S BEST COOKBOOKS OF SPRING
With its delicious nutty taste, nutritional density, and long shelf life, the sesame seed is a tiny ingredient with an enormous cultural impact and a deeply rich history.
In Sesame, Rachel Simons, co-founder of Seed + Mill, celebrates the evolution, history, and diversity of this classic ingredient. Whether it’s in the form of a seed, tahini (a ground sesame paste), sesame oil, or halva (a delicate, fudge-like candy made from sesame paste), readers will learn to incorporate sesame in 80+ traditional and modern global recipes, including Sweet & Salty Sesame Challah; Pear and Pistachio Breakfast Loaf with Sesame Streusel; Lemony Orecchiette with Sesame Pangrattato; Gomasio-Crusted Salmon Skewers; and Tahini Swirled Pavlova with Labneh, Berries & Halva Flakes.
Through vibrant photography, evocative storytelling, and contributions from a slate of noted chefs and food luminaries across the globe, including David Lebovitz, Molly Yeh, Nisha Vora, and Zoë François, Sesame is a loving culinary tribute to the sesame seed: how it has transformed dishes, how it has been translated by different culinary cultures, and how it has tied people and places together through generations.

Little Seed, Big Flavor Potential
If you’ve ever been to Seed + Mill in New York City’s mainstay Chelsea Market, you already know that Rachel Simons harnesses the true potential of the humble sesame seed.Whether it’s sesame paste, tahini, sesame oil, or halva, Simons reveals the myriad of ways you can utilize the shelf-stable, nutritious, tasty sesame in your cooking and baking.While most thoughts about sesame revolve around hummusâand there are several tasty, out-of-the-box varieties featured hereâor as a textural element for burger buns and Asian cuisine, Simons introduces home cooks and bakers to new recipes where sesame really shines. I, for one, never imagined how salted caramel could be improved upon, but the Tahini Salted Caramel Sauce here is seriously next level. Ditto for the Brown Butter, Chocolate Chip & Halva cookies where the familiar texture gets a serious upgrade.But sesame doesn’t just amp up sweets. I absolutely loved the Spiced Chickpea Curry, the Spicy Sesame Noodles, and the Lemon Orecchiette with Sesame Pangrattato. Each dish took something familiar and gave it a delightful new twist with the surprising sesame component. If your weeknight meals have gotten stale, Sesame helps you re-imagine your favorites without much extra effort.Ten Speed Press provided me with a free copy of this book; the opinions are my own.
