Q: I have found the best hummus in Georgia, but the restaurant is too far from Atlanta to just pop in and get some. If you could get the recipe from Grapes & Beans in downtown Clayton, it would be a great day for all, especially vegetarians.

A: Melissa Smart, a cook at Grapes & Beans, gladly provides the recipe, with the understanding that at this point it is in her head. She, like many cooks, visually measures and tastes to adjust seasonings instead of precisely following a specific recipe. Grapes & Beans' version of hummus has chopped parsley, which adds a bit of greenery to this classic Middle Eastern fare.
