Continental ‘meze’ comes to Scotland in a new book of tapas style recipes with a Scottish twist for the perfect dinner party nibbles, lunchtime light bites and super snacks! In this new publication, lifestyle author and foodie Karon Grieve transforms many well-known and much loved Scottish ingredients and dishes into super snacks - spoon-sized nibbles that are perfectly at home at a dinner party, picnic, in a lunchbox or even on a mid-week teatime table. Small food is gaining in popularity with European tapas and meze style dishes turning up in our supermarkets and in restaurants, and while Scottish cuisine might conjure up thoughts of big, hearty meals or high-end luxury dishes like smoked salmon and oysters, the whole spectrum of our national larder can be amply enjoyed simply by shrinking it down - by having a wee taste of everything. Featuring soups, fish and seafood, meat and chicken, vegetarian, sweets and even a few drinks, this recipe collection has something that everyone will enjoy. Classic recipes are reinvented as Balmoral Bites, Scotch Party Pies and Wee Crabbit Cakes, which are detailed alongside Karon’s more unusual dishes like Skirlie Sacks, Frozen Drambuie Souffles and Burns Baubles. All the recipes are as simple as possible, quick to make and use ingredients that are easy to find in the shops, so anyone can have a go
