Personal comments

Taste and savour this delicious dish! "Pancake and Hummus" will make you travel with its different origins.

Indeed, the famous pancake is of German origin and was brought to America by the Settlers. As for hummus, we don't know the exact origin; Israel and Lebanon argue the paternity.

These dishes, separately, have a common point : they travelled across countries, and their culture and their concrete origin remain a bit fuzzy.

That is why, beyond their culinary alliance, I wanted to create a new dish which will erase these questions and conflicts, because these two dishes actually form only one...

"Pancake and Hummus" is based, over all, on multiculturalism : a result which is beneficial for everything and everybody. It is very interesting to see, here for example, how good it can be to mix different culinary origins. We can discover new savours, new ingredients, etc. Thanks to this, we learn a lot about countries.
