Welcome to the mezze table of the planet!

Mezze is not just a noun, it is also a verb. It is about giving, receiving, sharing… It is about friendship!

Mezze Project channel is the project of Istanbul Elsewhere through which we present traditional mezze recipes and their stories. We host guest chefs while exploring delicious mezzes.
