Hummus - chickpea purée - is one of Israel’s national dishes. You’ll find dozens of varieties in restaurants (some - called Houmoussia - serve only that!) but it’s so quick to make that I encourage you to try it at home. Here’s a classic version of hummus with tahini as we eat it here.

I regularly make vegetable curries once fall arrives but never had the chance to share one with you. Here’s a vegetarian coconut cream curry, a complete, exotic, healthy and comforting dish for this season.
