Master the art of putting together the PERFECT MEZZE with this tempting collection of over 50 recipes. A selection of small plate mezze dishes that sing of SUNNY SUMMER DAYS. Even if you haven't got a sea, or even if the sun isn't shining, Mezze will bring these FABULOUS DISHES to your own kitchen. Mezze is a style of dining in the Mediterranean and Middle East, consisting of delicious appetizers or small plates served with drinks. Mezze can't be traced back to any one country in particular but the word is believed to originate from the Turkish word meaning snack or appetizer. Middle Eastern food inherently attracts people looking for healthier options - this means plenty of salad, as well as main dishes that are grilled rather than fried. This fantastic collection of fresh recipes include Dips & Salads, Cheese & Savoury Pastries, Beans & Vegetables, Fish & Seafood and Meat & Poultry. Recipes can range from simple little plates of marinated olives, stuffed vine leaves or a tahini dip and flatbreads, to more substantial dishes, such as lamb skewers, giant beans baked with garlic and tomatoes or a delicious plate of salt and pepper squid. Delve into this fresh and delicious selection of recipes to create your own mezze meal at home. Mezze is a compilation of previously published favourites.
