Mezzes are small plates perfect for entertaining and sharing. They're found all around the Mediterranean and the Middle East. In Spain they're known as tapas and are served with drinks as a way of stimulating the appetite.
They can also make an entire casual and delicious meal with family and friends. Combine several on a big platter or serve on individual plates: the choice is yours!
In this class, we'll be hands-on making a wide variety of vegetarian mezzes, demoing a few elements and sharing some plating ideas to wow your guests should you recreate these at home, perhaps for a festive dinner party around the holidays.

More recently, the fabulous culinary gastronomad and Kiwi icon, Peta Mathias, joined us for a series of cooking workshops at Te Papa Museum to celebrate love and food stories from her book "Eat Your Heart Out" and will return in October 2021 to launch her new book, 'Shed Couture', with an afternoon of food, fashion and fun!
