Eat This! Drink That!

Can you recall the first time you tasted something new?  I think many of us can.  I believe my first experiences with Hummus was 40 years ago on Bloor Street in Toronto.  Like so many taste adventures it was illuminating.  We asked "why have I not had this before?" It was a very good question.  Canadians were waking up to global cuisine!  For Deke Zaher Hummus has always been a part of his world, his diet, his cultural identity.  Zaher's Small Batch has become a Sudbury staple.  You can buy it at grocery stores, and certainly at his shop on Elgin near MacKenzie streets has all the flavours.  Locally made, fresh, and preservative free his product line has names like Number 13, Baba Mia, and Sunshine.  Passionate and ever so enthusiastic Deke shares his story of transformation and desire for awareness and inclusion.
