Mezze dining is a rich expression of Mediterranean culture, centered on sharing and hospitality. Growing up under the influence of my Egyptian Jewish grandmother, I learned that meals are more than just sustenance; they foster memories and connections. The mezze platter, defined as 'snack' or 'taste,' invites guests to enjoy a variety of dishes, enhancing communal dining experiences. By incorporating fresh, seasonal vegetables and different dips, one can recreate these vibrant spreads that reflect warmth, togetherness, and life's flavors.
The word 'mezze' itself means 'snack' or 'taste,' suggesting that the experience is a way of savoring various flavors, textures, and moments of life itself.
Growing up with my Egyptian Jewish grandmother on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, the kitchen was always the heart of her home, creating memories over shared meals.
