Abstract
The earliest chickpeas found on the Hacilar site near Burdur in Turkey, have been estimated to be seven and a half thousand years old. It is not known if these were cultivated or collected from the wild but it is near this area of the fertile crescent that chickpeas are believed to have been first domesticated and from where the wild progenitor "Cicer Reticulatum" was recently discovered. This document was prepared by Lorna Hawtin. It Is based on recipes appearing In various publications as well as some original ones. A bibliography Is provided at the end of the book.
