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 to create the most satisfying flavors. Learn how to bring warmth, color, and the flavors of the Mediterranean to your gatherings with this cook-along/demonstration class. Chef Tess (a descendant of Spartans) will guide you through the creation of this stunning mezze-style charcuterie board, perfect for any time of the year! Cook-along portion: Whipped Feta & Tzatziki Dips, Greek Meatballs, Homemade Pita Bread Demonstration portion: 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 while balancing the colors, textures, and flavors alongside finding the best decor and design. Equipment needs: A food processor or blender is needed for the creation of the whipped feta. Stand mixer recommended for the pita bread. Participants will receive a list of ingredients and a class link (zoom - free download) in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and prep.
