Notes about this book

  • mjes on September 07, 2021

    Sauteed chicken livers (qasbet djaj meqliyeh) (pg 139) I have little experience with the Lebanese 7 spice mix (allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, fenugreek and ginger). This looked like a good recipe to try it. I liked the results well enough to mark the recipe for repeating when I'm in the mood for chicken livers.

Publishers Text

Mezze - a leisurely feast comprising a selection of small dishes - is a flexible, sociable way of eating now becoming increasingly popular in the West. Almost any dish that is small and tasty can be served as a mezze, even main course dishes served in small portions. With a tempting collection of 100 recipes from Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Morocco and Iran, "Modern Mezze" brings this brilliant, relaxed style of food to the home cook. There are recipes for delicious dips and fragrant herby salads, crisp pastries, tasty pulse and grain dishes, colourful vegetables, fish and shellfish bites, plus tempting mezze meat. Clear, step-by-step preparation photographs make the recipes easy to follow and there is also advice on shopping and how to combine dishes to make a successful and achievable mezze meal. Throughout the book, there are features on traditional breads, pickles, olives and drinks to accompany your mezze.
