"This is from an old New York Times Natural Foods cookbook. It was my first husband's favorite meal. Don't have the husband anymore, but I kept the recipe! I usually double or triple the amount of sesame seeds."

I used to own the original cookbook (paperback) this was printed in -- The NYT Natural Foods Cookbook (purchased ca. 1973). This recipe has been a family favorite over the years. My cookbook finally started falling apart, but the page that this recipe was on is one of the few I saved before I consigned the rest of the cookbook to the recycling bin.
