126: Open Sesame with Rachel Belle
Listen & Subscribe
Molly and Kate speak with Rachel Belle, a journalist and Seattle media personality who was hired to write Open Sesame, a cookbook all about tahini. She talks about her background in food media, the unique way she joined the project (leave the house!), and how she learned the aspects of cookbook creation on the job. She takes us through the recipe creation and testing process, shares why it was important to inject her signature humor throughout the book and discusses what the most challenging aspect was. Finally she shares the questions she'd advise others in her position to ask and the new project she's got on her mind.
Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea Nguyen
