Meze

Meze is a collection of small, flavorful dishes traditionally served in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines. Think of it as a variety platter, where a group shares multiple appetizers like dips, cheeses, olives, and small bites. It encourages socializing and tasting a range of flavors in one meal. Meze can include items such as hummus, baba ganoush, stuffed grape leaves, and pita bread. The emphasis is on diverse, aromatic, and often healthful foods, making it a convivial culinary experience rooted in shared tradition.
