Both western and eastern mediterranean cultures have their own versions of small savory plates, called mezze in Turkey and Lebanon to the east, and tapas in Spain to the west. Join us in The KITCHEN at The Boston Public Market for a seasonal & local twist on the traditional flavors of mezze and tapas at our Farm-to-KITCHEN hands-on cooking class!
Lieza Dagher, Director of The KITCHEN, will lead this cooking class emphasizing traditional recipes and flavors that have been passed down from generations of her family. Lieza's recipes will awaken your senses and introduce you to new options for flavorful meals at home. The majority of ingredients for the class will be straight from The Boston Public Market, proving you can buy local, eat local and still achieve international flavors.
Each course will be paired with a tasting of local wines from The Massachusetts Wine Shop.
