Beyond Hummus, A Tasting with Ayoub, Founder of Double Dip

You think you know hummus. You probably don’t.

About the Event:

This event is part of "A Taste of France and Francophonie" Series.

This event will be in English.

Creamy, vibrant, earthy, bright — hummus is far more than a side dish.

On May 15, join us for a guided tasting with Ayoub, founder of Double Dip, and discover the depth and diversity of one of the most beloved dishes of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern worlds — regions deeply connected to the Francophone cultural sphere.

Through a curated selection of recipes, textures, and flavor profiles, you will explore how a simple combination of chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and olive oil can transform into something surprisingly complex and expressive.

This is not a meal.
It is a tasting — a conversation — a discovery.

You will learn to:

• distinguish textures and balance
• recognize subtle flavor variations
• understand cultural roots and culinary identity
• Limited seating to preserve the quality of the experience
• Ideal for food lovers, curious minds, and cultural explorers
