Welcome to The Stories that Connect Us – a fun and welcoming series of cultural arts programs that bring community together through music, food, film and storytelling. Each event is a chance to share and celebrate the unique traditions and experiences that connect us all.

Join entrepreneur Rachel Simons, founder of Seed & Mill in New York's Chelsea Market, and author of the new cookbook Sesame, as she shares her transformation from lawyer to successful entrepreneur in the artisanal food industry. In Sesame, Rachel celebrates the world of sesame from halva, tahini to sesame oil and shares the evolution, history and diversity of this classic ingredient.  She will discuss all things tahini, demonstrate cooking techniques from her book and, of course, we will get to taste!. A fabulous evening of food, stories, and dinner ideas.
