On the Hummus Route is a utopian journey between cities, people, and dreams, culminating in a groundbreaking collection of recipes, essays, stories, street photography, illustrations, and more about the world’s golden grain – chickpea. It is the winner of two top prizes from the Gourmand International Cookbook Awards, 2020 Best Book in the World and 2020 Best Book for Peace.
