Ghillie Basan gathers together dips, bites, salads, pastries and other small plates that can be mixed and matched to create an entire spread, or enjoyed singly as a light meal or starter. Recipes range from the simple — roasted nuts tossed in salt and thyme, or olives marinated with lemon and coriander seed — to more elaborate dishes bursting with colour and flavour. Among the highlights are Orange and Date Salad with Chillies and Preserved Lemon, Hot Hummus with Pine Nuts and Chilli Butter, Baby Saffron Squid Stuffed with Bulgur and Zahtar, and Stuffed Dates in Clementine Syrup. Basan draws on her deep knowledge of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, honed over years of travel and writing, to present dishes that are both authentic and approachable. The 160-page hardback is generously illustrated with vivid photography that makes every recipe inviting, and the format encourages a relaxed, communal style of eating that has become increasingly popular for dinner parties, buffets and weekend gatherings. Whether you're planning a full mezze feast or simply want a few new appetiser ideas, this book offers plenty of inspiration, with recipes organised so home cooks can pick and choose to suit any occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 60 authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern mezze recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for entertaining, sharing platters and dinner parties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully photographed hardcover, great as a gift for foodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecipes range from simple bites to elaborate feast-style spreads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a respected, Cordon Bleu-trained food writer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers dips, salads, pastries, meat, seafood and sweet dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGhillie Basan has worked around the world as a cookery writer, restaurant critic and journalist.
