Meze, sometimes spelt Mezze, is derived from the Arabic word t’maza, meaning ‘to savour in little bites’. It’s the ultimate form of sharing food. Each small dish provides a different taste and textural sensation, making the experience of eating healthy food a constant, joyous culinary adventure.
Your guide on this journey will be James Walters, Executive Chef and co-founder of the Arabica Food & Spice Company and one of his team.
The morning will start with warm pastries and Arabic Coffee. After a short introduction, students will work in small groups to produce an array of seasonal meze dishes using locally sourced british produce and some of Arabica’s ingredients such as Wild Sumac, Dukka and Shade-dried limes.
The day concludes with lunch served with Lebanese wine followed by some of Arabica’s hand-made baklawa pastries. Some food may be taken home
