Get creative with these 45 globally inspired recipes—each with a unique sesame twist—in this stylish, palate-pleasing cookbook.
Be honest. Have you ever finished an entire jar of tahini? How many times have you bought tahini for, say, a hummus recipe or a salad dressing, used ¼ cup, and then watched it slowly moonwalk to the back of the refrigerator, unsure of whatto do with the rest? *slowly raises hand* Here at Open Sesame, we believe in No Tahini Left Behind!
Like a little black dress, tahini can seamlessly transition from day to night, from savory to sweet, from the Middle East to the Midwest. Reimagine how tahini can fit into your everyday repertoire, with style and whimsy, from the host of the James Beard-nominated Your Last Meal podcast Rachel Belle.
This creamy, nutty ingredient is more than just a cult condiment du jour:
It's an allergy-friendly nut substitute!
Replaces dairy in vegan dishes!
Full of heart-heathy fats, plant-based protein, and chock-full of essential vitamins!
Adds a roasty-toasty, earthy flavor to many desserts!
Sprinkle some sesame sparkle into your life with recipes that include:
Everything-Including-the-Bagel Salad
Falafel-Spiced Tahini Deviled Eggs with Crispy Chickpeas
Chocolate Miso Whoopie Pies with Tahini Cream
and, of course, Ethereally Creamy Israeli-Style Hummus (now available in traditional, golden, and hot pink!)
These forty-five inventive recipes each have a global flair and a sesame twist—plus a robust (and surprising) dessert section!
