MIT Hummus Experience
Eliad Shmuel
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
The MIT Hummus Experience began in 2008. In 2009 and 2010, it was the highlight of MIT's IAP (Independent Activities Period). It might be the health trend or just pure curiosity which brings hundreds of people to the “Hummus Taste Off,” a competition where professors and students have to rank different hummus brands and student creations by aroma, taste and texture.
The “Hummus Taste Off” is only the first shot for a month of “hummus experiences”; we have two hummus classes and a tour to a local hummus factory.
During IAP, we will again have a number of hummus-based events, as the Hummus Experience reflects the fun and exploratory spirit of MIT’s intersession. We did very well last year, and this year we want to do even better!
All we are saying is "give chickpeas a chance."

Hummus tour

Touring a hummus factory is like walking into a Mediterranean "wonderland": oceans of chickpeas, mountains of hummus, rivers of olive oil, and warm pita for dipping... The MIT community also experiences the engineering feats behind production. RSVP is required using our Google spreadsheet. Space is limited!

Put together a team with an idea of what flavor you would like to make. We will provide you with the basic recipe, which you can adapt to your liking using both traditional and funky ingredients (please include any specific ingredients with your rsvp).
