But you will find that when you make things with a lot less garlic than you think you need, it's a lot better. Too many people just use too much of it. The hummus just needs a tiny bit. I get tahini at the health food store. Different brands.

Thanks for the recipe and, yes, I will be sure to include lots of fresh garlic. Tuppence and Lionel look really sweet and appear to be quite content. Nothing like a few kitties to warm up a cold day.

Have to say, you've put it on the mark as far as precision in the ingredients and the need for touch in proportions, as in garlic.
