Chickpea Bread Stew
When I told someone about making Lablabi, a chickpea bread stew from Tunisia, they replied with "What's a Tunisia?" Tunisia is a small north African nation situated next to Algeria, Libya and with a lovely Mediterranean Sea view. Lablabi is a traditional and popular dish. I am in love with chickpeas, so this was ...

Tahini is simply sesame seed ...

Traditionally onions or tomatoes are included in ...

Hummus Pizza
I am a huge pizza fan, I am not a fan of fake cheese though. The hummus fills the void of the creaminess you get from cheese. This is a very healthy option, and does not even come close to the amount of calories and fat in a normal pizza. You can get creative with this, throw on any veggies you like. Broccoli, ...

From the authors, Gina and Jeremy: One of the best ways to cool off in the summer is with a cold salad. We are easily bored with leafy green salads and usually want a little more protein in our meal.
