The Mediterranean Mezze Table

When you have a little bit of this and a little bit of that in your pantry and refrigerator, you are on your way to setting your table with a mezze (meze, mazza) feast! In the upcoming issue of The Mediterranean Lifestyle magazine, you will find a Mediterranean-wide spread of mezze from many countries. Featured recipes will represent Spain, France, Turkey, Egypt, Greece, and more, and there will be tapas, antipasti, mezze, and hors d'oeuvres on this virtual table of deliciousness.

Mezze is a bit of this and a bit of that.
