# Sundays Are for Feasts - Hardcover

by **Leila Boukarim** (Author), **Ruaida Mannaa** (Illustrator)

**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!
