Hommos is a sensory celebration of Middle Eastern food culture, written by celebrated food stylist and writer Merijn Tol. The book elevates the iconic chickpea spread from a simple dip into an art form—featuring classic recipes, creative modern twists, and rich cultural stories.

Approached by Nijgh Cuisine, a specialized Dutch imprint focusing on publishing high-quality cookbooks, food culture stories, and culinary guides, to design their new book called Hommos.
