Mediterranean Meze
In this class, we start by answering the question “what is the Mediterranean Diet?” The Mediterranean diet is about what the cuisines surrounding the Mediterranean Sea have in common: a daily emphasis on vegetables and fruits, beans and lentils, whole grains, more seafood than meat and poultry, and heart-healthy olive oil. With all of the countries in the Mediterranean, this means that there isn’t a single “diet” that encompasses the entire Mediterranean region—the spice-laden dishes of Morocco bear little resemblance to the lemon and caper-laced cuisine of southern Italy. The one commonality is good flavor. You’ll learn how to shop for the Mediterranean Diet and how to craft a meze platter, then you’ll apply the techniques you’ve learned to prepare hummus, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, sizzling garlic shrimp, and pan-fried halloumi recipes.
