Every summer, Yasmine visits her family in Lebanon, and every Sunday, the whole family comes over for lunch. This summer Sunday, Yasmine is making the hummus!

But hummus is harder to make than she expects, and Yasmine has all sorts of questions: How much garlic should she add? Is it lemon juice or vinegar? And where does the sesame flavor come from? With a little help from Baba, Yasmine mixes in a bit of this, and a bit of that ... and hummus

la Yasmine is ready! But when grumpy Ammo Farouk arrives with the rest of the family, Yasmine worries - will he hate it? What if her hummus doesn't taste like the real thing?

Sundays Are for Feasts is a celebration of how meals can bring family together, and the importance of making your own traditions. Includes an author's note, glossary of Arabic terms used in the story and a recipe for hummus!
