Altered ingredient amounts. I added an extra garlic clove as I like my houmous garlicy. I also added a bit of lemon juice and some mustard seeds and paprika. Very tasty! - 23 May 2011
Used different ingredients. I made this houmous and unfortunately I didn't like it very much, it tasted very plain, which I probably should have predicted as it is, after all, a basic houmous like the recipe states. I'm going to add 2 or 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and see if I like it better. - 13 Jan 2011
