Anyone have a cranks cookbook?

[bambootoo]

My favourite recipe for houmous comes from the cranks cookbook, which I think is maybe 80's?
I used to be able to find the recipe online but they have updated the cranks website and it's gone. There are loads of recipes and I don't know which are similar.
I have a cup of chickpeas soaking, anyone have the recipe?

I think I have one will have a look.

I have the cranks bible on the shelf next to me. Hold your horses a mo.

nope, not in mine. am amazed but I've checked the section on chickpeas and the index. Have you searched for it in google books?

Sorry, its not in mine.
