With few exceptions, it’s hard to go wrong with these recipes.”

From the publisher: 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. A clear, approachable guide to the world of sesame, from halva, to tahini, and sesame oil.
