    Dips and Mezes

    Mezze recipes have an important place in Turkish & Mediterranean Cuisine. They are small plates for sharing, similar to tapas or appetizers, and are one of my favorite ways to eat.

    You can browse in this section my favorite mezze and dips such as Çerkez Tavugu (Circassian Chicken), Tirokafteri (Spicy Whipped Feta Dip), and Easy Authentic Hummus Recipe, and more! Don't forget the Greek Pita Bread, as bread is the heart of a mezze spread.
