Mezzes are the best known aspect of the Middle Eastern cuisine. A typical Middle-Eastern meal will consist of a number of mezzes, served together with flat bread. Two of our directors have Lebanese ancestry, and have grown up celebrating most occasions with a Lebanese banquet. This hands-on cooking workshop will explore a variety of classic Middle Eastern mezze dishes.
