The word “Mezze” refers to what we all know as finger foods and dips. Many
Mediterranean meals consist of a variety of “mezze” items that come together creating the
most wonderful flavors, tastes and textures. Learn how to bring warmth, color, and the
flavors of the Mediterranean to your fall and winter gatherings with this festive
Mediterranean mezze cook-along class where Chef Tess (a descendant of Spartans) will
guide you through creating a stunning mezze-style charcuterie board, perfect for sharing or
seasonal entertaining any time of year. The mezze-style charcuterie board will include four
delicious scratch-made dips, warm-spiced, bright Greek meatballs, and handmade pita
bread. Mezze boards / platters will be rounded out with an array of fresh and pickled
vegetables, olives, fruit and nuts for a vibrant crowd—pleasing spread! The board, platter,
or table becomes the canvas upon which we create an edible work of art! Cook-Along
mezze items: Silky whipped feta & tzatziki dips, Greek Meatballs, homemade pita bread
Mezze items to be demonstrated: Muhamarra (a smoky red pepper dip), Greek hummus
and time permitting, some crispy, Greek sesame bread sticks. The demonstration will also
include how to build the board balancing the colors, textures and flavors, and how to build
interest and visual appeal with using height and practical items found in every kitchen.
This experience is all about bold delicious flavors, beautiful presentations, and the joy of
gathering around food— Mediterranean style.
