The word “Mezze” refers to what we all know as finger foods and dips. Many Mediterranean meals consist of a variety of “mezze” items that come together creating the most wonderful flavors, tastes and textures. Learn how to bring warmth, color, and the flavors of the Mediterranean to your fall and winter gatherings with this festive Mediterranean mezze cook-along class where Chef Tess (a descendant of Spartans) will guide you through creating a stunning mezze-style charcuterie board. Perfect for sharing or seasonal entertaining any time of year.
The mezze-style charcuterie board will include four delicious scratch-made dips, warm-spiced bright Greek meatballs, and handmade pita bread. Mezze boards / platters will be rounded out with an array of fresh and pickled vegetables, olives, fruit and nuts for a vibrant crowd-pleasing spread! The board, platter, or table becomes the canvas upon which we create an edible work of art!
Cook-Along mezze items: Silky whipped feta & tzatziki dips, Greek Meatballs, and homemade pita bread.
Mezze items to be demonstrated: Muhamarra (a smoky red pepper dip), Greek hummus, and time permitting, some crispy, Greek sesame bread sticks. The demonstration will also include how to build the board, balancing colors, textures and flavors, and how to build interest and visual appeal with using height and practical items found in every kitchen.
Equipment:
This experience is all about bold delicious flavors, beautiful presentations, and the joy of gathering around food—Mediterranean style.

Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking since she was roughly six years old -- well over forty years. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with one's own hands and creativity, was, and continues to be, an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home-cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. She has recently started writing her first cookbook, and has a food blog in the works.
