Welcome to Sprinkle of Sesame! I’m Grace.

I believe everyone should cook for themselves. My mission is to share quick, easy recipes that will allow you to make delicious meals in your own home.

For me, preparing a good meal is not just about satiating hunger. Cooking is not just a chore, but a sacred act. Each time you cook, you choose how to nourish yourself and what ingredients and flavors you will indulge in. The act of cooking speaks love—love for yourself, your spouse, your family, and your friends. In Korea, where I spent my childhood, when a meal is nearly complete, the cook will sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top to garnish the food. To me, sesame seeds signify a home cooked meal made with love. Hence, Sprinkle of Sesame is about helping you to make great home cooked meals with love.

To make this as easy as possible, my recipes generally call for readily available ingredients that you can find at most grocery stores. But that does not mean the recipes are uninspired. I love tastes from different cultures that have withstood the test of time. And I am passionate about discovering new flavors, as well. I am always looking for new inspirations, stemming from each and every life experience. So, what you will find on here is a variety of recipes: some classic, some modern; some authentic, some fusion; some familiar, some adventurous.

So check out some recipes and start making delicious meals for yourself. Don’t forget to subscribe to this blog. Pin the posts you like on pinterest and follow me on Instagram. Also, don’t be a stranger—please leave a comment on any recipe if you want to ask a question or just say hello!
