welcome 2014, what a year!

Being able to share our passion for sesame has truly been an amazing experience. As we reflect back on the past year, we have so much to be grateful for— rebranding our company, expanding our product line (Soom Chocolate Spread!), launching a food blog (soomfoods.com/recipes), growing our community and meeting so many wonderful people at events, markets, retailers and online.

We’ve curated recipes and food photography from a talented group of chefs and food bloggers, and we are excited to showcase their creativity alongside some of our own creations. Each recipe is credited with the contributor’s name and Instagram handle that both link to their respective sites.

This book is divided into three sections: Snacks, Meals and Desserts.

All of the recipes are vegetarianIt felt natural to dedicate a cookbook to our favorite ingredient— SESAME— friendly, delicious and nutritious. and highlight its flavorful role in savory We hope you’re hungry! and sweet dishes.

We love sesame.

We are three sisters Amy, Jackie and Shelby who were born into a family of food business-owners and entrepreneurs, and all share a passion for healthy lifestyles and delicious food. We founded Soom Foods in 2013 after we were introduced to Ethiopian tahini by Jackie’s husband Omri, an Israeli tahini expert who has been in the industry for almost 10 years.

What started with a love of a delicious product that had no comparison in the United States, has since turned into an obsession. As we have learned more about sesame, its versatility and its nutrition, Soom Foods has a developed a bold mission to introduce the next American superfood through our assorted Soom Sesame Dips and Spreads.

While spending time together in Israel, Omri’s mother baked a delicious carrot cake (recipe on page 26) to end an epic family meal. Curious about how she incorporated such a rich, nutty flavor into the recipe, we asked “Why is this so good?” and Omri’s mother responded, “It’s tahini!

Tahini isn’t just used for hummus, you know...”

This book highlights the versatility of sesame by compiling our favorite Soom recipes from the past year. We are inspired and hope you are too. Thank you for being part of our Soom family!

Sesame is a superfood.

Sesame is an ancient seed.

It is one of the oldest known crops, dating back 3,000 years. Sesame has a rich history. It was one of the first crops processed for oil, as well as one of the earliest condiments used.

Sesame seeds come from a flowering plant that can survive harsh growing conditions. Its pods burst open when it reaches it maturity, hence the term “Open Sesame!”

4

Among other reputable sources that sing the praises of sesame, Prevention Magazine named sesame one of 14 Superfoods of 2014.

Sesame seeds are rich in essential nutrients and vitamins— Protein, Calcium, Iron, Fiber, Omega 3 + 6, Magnesium, Zinc, B-vitamins and Vitamin E— making sesame truly a super seed!
