The oldest written #hummus recipe in the world is 776 years old...

It was written in Aleppo, Syria in 1250 CE by a historian named Ibn al-'Adeem. Not a chef. A historian. Who also happened to document one of the most extraordinary cookbooks of the medieval period.

Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service.

Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s”

Damn, I was browsing around GitHub and this project really just has a “skill issue” label for issues.
