My cookbooks lie. I haven’t traveled widely; I’ve purchased well. Perhaps because of this, I’m not truly beholden to the people of a culture, so I pick dishes up from disparate places and swap them willy-nilly. My favorite Greek tzatziki sauce is Armenian jajoukh. My only modification: roast the garlic, and never measure the herbs!
Recipe from: Sundays At Moosewood Restaurant, by the Moosewood Collective, Simon and Schuster, Inc., New York, NY 1990.
That sounds good. I like that you roast the garlic. When I make homemade hummus, I fry the garlic gently. It takes the edge off.

I roast the garlic for hummus too…and often double the amount. Not for the faint of heart!

I have that book too! I have not tried that recipe though, but I love tzatziki. I have most of the Moosewood cookbooks. My most messed up page in Sundays at Moosewood is the vegetarian biryani which I make as often as I can.
