Located in the iconic Chelsea Market, the business quickly captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike, evolving into a nationally celebrated brand. Today, their premium tahini and halva are cherished ingredients in the kitchens of world-renowned chefs and home cooks across America. Seed + Mill has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Vogue, Food52, Bon Appétit, and more. Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Rachel now lives in New York with her husband, Chris, two children, Oliver and Annika, and adored sausage dog, Buddy. Rachel has been obsessed with devouring and collecting cookbooks her entire life and is beyond excited to introduce her debut cookbook, Sesame, to the world!
