<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b><i>The Tahini Table</i> reveals tahini as a versatile, healthy, and delicious addition to any kitchen, with more than 100 recipes for snacks, dinners, desserts, and more.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Most people who know about tahini understand the sesame paste as simply one of the building blocks of hummus. But for Amy Zitelman, CEO and cofounder of woman-owned Soom Foods--the leading purveyor of tahini and tahini products in the American market--the culinary potential of tahini goes far beyond hummus. In <i>The Tahini Table: Go Beyond Hummus with 100 Recipes for Every Meal</i>, tahini is introduced to home cooks as a new pantry staple that can be used in recipes from dips to desserts. <p/>Tahini, made from pressed roasted sesame seeds, is a healthy, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and low-sugar superfood rich in Omega fatty acids, protein, and calcium. Although tahini's historical roots are in the Middle East, Zitelman aims to stretch the culinary borders of tahini outside of traditional Middle-Eastern fare. <i>The Tahini Table</i> contains 100 recipes that showcase tahini's wide range of uses. This "cult condiment" is mild enough to step in as an inspiring replacement for the eggs, cheese, mayo, and cream called for in recipes that American home cooks are making for their families every day. <i>The Tahini Table</i> provides tahini hacks for reimagined American classics, including vegan "queso," eggless mayonnaise, and gluten-free brownies. <p/>From Vegan Mac and "Cheese" and Tahini Chicken Schnitzel, to Chocolate Halvah French Toast and Tahini Flan, Zitelman writes with the home cook in mind, incorporating tahini into everyday cooking in delicious and unexpected ways. With beautiful color photos, contributions from top restaurant chefs, and easy substitutions for a variety of diets, <i>The Tahini Table</i> proves that tahini is the next must-have pantry staple for home cooks everywhere.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Amy Zitelman</b> is CEO of Philadelphia-based Soom Foods, the leading purveyor of tahini and tahini products in the American market, which she cofounded in 2013.
