This is exactly the kind of food writing I like to read: it includes a bit of history, a bit of science, and some culture, as well as the recipes. It was interesting to compare the 4 types of chickpeas side by side. I definitely noticed that some make better hummus than other, but didn't quite know why. Chickpeas are definitely one of those beans that are worth all the soaking and lengthy cooking. The flavour is absolutely superior to the pale, tinned variety.

I learned a lot. I can so relate to the assumption you made about the use of baking soda being an old wives tale. I've been skeptical of similar procedures in Moroccan cooking, and after poking into the matter am usually left stunned at the wisdom in some of these old culinary tricks. Wow…great post.
