SUMMARY:Mediterranean Small Plates: The World of Mezze
DESCRIPTION:Join food historian and chef-instructor Arnold Grubb as he guid
 es you through the evolution of the Mediterranean food culture known today
  as tapas or small plates. Originally derived from the Persian word maza\,
  meaning “to relish”\, mezze (Turkish for “appetizer”) has become 
 the backbone of Mediterranean cuisines from Portugal to Syria and all poin
 ts in between. To the Spanish\, tapas. The Italians\, antipasti. The Greek
 s and Balkans call it mezé or mezédhes. The Turks mezze. Whatever the na
 me\, they all have one thing in common: collections of small\, highly port
 able\, simple\, delicious dishes designed to be shared.\n\nChef Arnold wil
 l introduce you to a 2000-year old recipe for epityrum\, an herbed olive r
 elish from the Roman republic\, an Egyptian hummus kassa that predates the
  dawn of Islam\, a Lebanese Fattoush salad that has been a staple on Levan
 tine dinner tables for hundreds of years\, and the zesty Turkish ancestor 
 of tzatziki\, called cacik\, as well as a fresh melon and mint salad and p
 oached shrimp dumplings\, both from the author of the first known cookbook
  in history\, Marcus Gavius Apicius.\n\nYou’ll learn how to give new lif
 e to familiar old spices and herbs\, and experience a few new ones\, as we
 ll\, to brighten up your palate and revitalize your pantry\, using fresh\,
  whole ingredients that will showcase the wonderfully broad array of Medit
 erranean flavors. Plus\, your heart will thank you for ditching the modern
 \, mass-produced\, chemically laden convenience foods of today\, in favor 
 of simple dishes full of heart-healthy fats\, whole grains and complete pr
 oteins\, that are both delicious and as easy and quick to make as any micr
 owave dinner (maybe even quicker). And at the end of the course\, you’ll
  be able to enjoy all your creations\, along with a refreshing Moroccan mi
 nt iced tea and a surprise treat\, prepared specially for you by the chef\
 , himself.
