These sesame bars are a best seller at Sofra Bakery & Café in Cambridge, Mass. Lots of brown sugar combined with a thick, raw honey produce the caramel that holds the nuts and sesame seeds together over a thick shortbread crust. We know exactly what you’re thinking: Homemade Christmas or Hanukkah gift!
Dessert
Pumpkin Pie
This one is for the pumpkin pie lovers at the table. It’s a classic—with the genius addition of a secret ingredient for nuance, coconut milk. Yup.
Cranberry Pie
Try this cranberry pie in the fall or winter when you are craving the bright taste of a sour cherry pie. Add pecans to this filling if you’d like, as well as some orange zest or liqueur, and serve it with champagne. (We especially love that recommendation).
