Product Description
Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
I have to say I do not agree with other reviews about this recipe book. Many of the listings are not really recipes at all - just the combination of one or two ingredients. It is difficult to find much originality here, or moments of "oh i wondered how they made that", or "now that does sound delicious". Yes I understand mezze are simple tapas like dishes but I was expecting more inspiration than this: cucumber salad; carrot salad; feta cheese salad :(
Other than that the book is nicely presented, but content is king I'm afraid.

A friend gave me this recipe book and I am so impressed with it I have bought several copies for friends for Christmas. It includes a broad selection of Mezze, it is well written and comprehensive and it is a lovely book to read - lots of excellent photos and interesting information. I highly recommend it.

Helou's book is a great introduction to Mediterranean cooking. Her flavours are clean and fresh, and her recipes easy to follow. She provides enough information about unusual ingredients to ensure that you can find them in local shops where things may not be labelled in English, but almost all of her recipes can come straight from the supermarket.
She is enthusiastic and knowledgeable, without ever lecturing, which is great.

I have had this book for a couple of weeks now and have tried several of the recipes with success. None were overly demanding and even the picky teens ate them all up. Read more
