On the Hummus Route

Gorgeous book all about Hummus - with recipes and stories from different regions all over the Middle East. Beautiful pictures, very interesting and sometimes moving stories - and quite a bit of background information on the history of chick peas, hummus, falafel and related dishes. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes. Wonderful gift, coffee table book - or addition to a book collection.

The book is a collector item. There is everything - history, recipes, photographs, chefs and restaurants known for creating great humus.

This is my new favorite cookbook, but cookbook does not even capture this book. It is a cultural, artful, and historical masterpiece.

This is a masterpiece of a fantastic work. Everything about the beautiful Hummus Dish anyone in the world would enjoy and delight in knowing. Best beautiful crystal clear photography you will find anywhere. There are no books in history this incredible on Hummus! The people, the history, the ingredients, the presentation all that encourage the reader, urge you to try so many new recipes and styles/presentations. Mr. Orly is nothing less that super-fantastic in the love and passion they share with us leaving us wanting more. You just do not see this level of dedication, craftsmanship, knowledge, and class. Best book ever I assure you. -Micheal

I recently traveled to Israel with friends and visited a restaurant , Alakawi, in Acre that featured hummus. It was fabulous, one of the best dishes I have ever tasted! The owner of the restaurant, Yosef Baballah, is featured in this book! So, of course, I had to buy it! While I haven't tried his recipe or any of the others in the book, just reading it brings back wonderful memories of the delicious food he served us....

Excellent Book. Giving 4 instead of 5 stars because the first copy that arrived had an issue with the the gold trim. Book itself is awesomeness!

I bought this as an eBook and immediately returned it. It showed 2 pages at a time making it too small to read without having to constantly pinch it bigger. I could find no setting to make it show only 1 page at a time. None of my other Kindle books do this. I’m disappointed. I wanted this book, but as formatted it’s useless to me.

I love this book, it is filled with magnificent photos. It is filled with good recipes. So yummy. It is a wonderful book of cultural heritage.
