One of my favourite ways to share Greek cuisine is through small plates we call Meze. Last week I hosted a meze themed Greek Supper Club at Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market Kitchen.

Thank you to Nisos Importing for Cretan olive oil and many specialty ingredients imported from Greece and Kolonaki Group who poured the Greek wine, spirits and furnished Ioli still and Souroti sparkling waters.
