Q: Would it be possible for you to get the marvelous hummus recipe served at the Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant Nicola's? The hummus, in my opinion, is the absolute best in Atlanta.

A: The restaurant's gregarious chef/owner, Nicola H. Ayoub, was delighted to share his recipe. Ayoub has been making hummus for more than 20 years at Nicola's, one of Atlanta's first Middle Eastern restaurants.
