Overview

Making your own hummus is a great thing to do. The results you get are far better than the bought stuff from the supermarket. Fresh homemade hummus is in a class of its own.

The protein in hummus can even help you diet.
You can make hummus really easily and it doesn’t take very much time. A blender or food processor helps but you don’t even need these especially if you are making a chunky style hummus. Learn the tricks to getting super smooth and fantastic tasting hummus that you just won’t want to stop eating. Once you start making your own hummus you won’t want to buy any from a shop ever again!
There are lots of different types of hummus other than the usual plain ones. You can add lots of different ingredients to flavour your hummus and this book gives you lots of hummus versions for you to try. Hummus is made from chickpeas, but you don’t have to use them. There are exciting recipes using a different main ingredient such as black beans and even edamame beans. Even more are given in the book.
If you find that you can’t eat some of the usual ingredients in normal hummus such has tahini, garlic or chickpeas don’t worry because there are lots of alternative recipes for you, where you can make fantastic hummus leaving the offending ingredients out.
You might think that hummus is only a dip, but you would be very wrong. You can use hummus in everyday cooking. In fact you could eat hummus all day and every day if you wanted to. Hummus can be a fantastic flavour enhancer in many meals from soups to pasta. In the book you can find lots of recipes where hummus is used to give flavour, provide healthy thickening or healthy creaminess.
Allergies are a worry with nuts and bean type products and as a result there are chapters to explain what to look out for, if you think you are allergic or have a food intolerance to normal hummus. Needless to say alternative recipes are given so that you can go on eating hummus without causing allergic reactions.
If you like hummus then this is the book for you. You can learn how to make lots of different kinds of hummus together with the all-important spice mixes that go with them. Get the book, whiz up some hummus, sit down and relax. You deserve it!

About the Author

Ellen Vincent was brought up in Ghana but now lives in the UK. She is interested in all things that are natural. Ellen has noticed that many of the cosmetics and treatments that are available in the West contain lots of artificial ingredients and are often based on oils and substances made from petro-chemicals. After comparing them with the kinds of things that she used in Ghana she has found that the petro-chemical based ones can cause irritations and bad reactions as well as not being as good as natural based products. She now extensively makes her own cosmetics and only uses the best natural ingredients that she can find.

Back in the old country coconut oil use is widespread and is used in cooking as well as to make body creams. She uses virgin coconut oil to cook with and uses it as the base for many of her skin and hair creams and oils. Ellen now produces a range of natural cosmetics that she sells in her local area in the UK under the name of 'Natural Revelations'. She hopes that she will be able to introduce these to Ghana at some stage together with all of the books that she has written on natural healthy living.

Dealing with the outside of your body is fine but, to make the most of the creams and oils that you apply, you need to make sure that the foods that you eat are also doing their job. She is a big fan of green smoothies and makes sure that she has these every day. She feels invigorated after drinking them. You should look out for Ellen's books on green smoothies which include a volume that just contains ideas for recipes. She has built up her vast collection of green smoothie recipes by experimentation and following good practice.

In the UK she came across apple cider vinegar and has found that this too is very useful when it comes to treating your skin and keeping your body healthy. She was so amazed by the many uses that can be found for apple cider vinegar that she wrote a book all about it. This too will soon be available through Smashwords.

If you want to find out about how using a range of natural ingredients can be so good for your body and health, then you really should read Ellen's books. These are available in both electronic formats and as paperbacks. She is hoping to produce a book specifically for the care of Black hair and skin and as a result you should watch out for this when it is actually published in the near future.
