Hummus
November 19, 2014
This Hummus recipe is perfect. In 1977, Julee Russo and Sheila Lukins opened and ran a gourmet food shop in New York City called The Silver Palate, the first gourmet carry-out shop in Manhattan. It happened to be around the corner from my first apartment, which was 333 square feet facing North with a reflection of the Empire State Building in the window across the street. (I was trying to put a spin on my teeny tiny studio apartment!) In the 1980s they wrote The Silver Palate Cookbook, which had an enormous influence on me. I got really serious about cooking during this time.
