Meet the Author
Nice to meet you, I’m Kitty! I’m the founder of Welcome2Jordan, a personal brand with the mission of sharing the rich culture and cuisine of my beloved country, Jordan, with the world. What started as a small blog about Jordan in 2019 has grown into one of the leading websites on Middle Eastern culture and cuisine over the past few years, attracting visitors from across the globe.
Mezze for Beginners is my debut cookbook, which I curated with much love and attention to detail. Mezze is a popular term in the Levant, similar to Spanish tapas. Whether it’s for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, with family or friends, these dishes bring people together.
The cookbook is a collection of my family’s recipes, along with my personal tips, cultural insights and plenty of advice. My goal is to make Middle Eastern food more approachable, even for beginners. Let me inspire you to craft a vibrant, flavor-packed mezze platter that will not only satisfy your taste buds but also create unforgettable moments around the table!
What Others Are Saying
Happy customers is what makes me thrive. Below are some extracts of reviews and testimonials I have received over the past years.
I love Middle Eastern cuisine and when I came across this cookbook, I just had to order it. And I have to say, I’m really impressed. Even though I’m already quite familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine, I found lots of delicious dishes in this cookbook that I didn’t even know yet. I also made well known dishes like falafel and hummus using the recipes in the book, and they were even more delicious than anything I’ve tried before. My favorites are the beetroot dip and the chicken skewers, which are really delicious! All in all, the recipes are very easy to follow thanks to the detailed instructions. The quality of the book (cover, printing, photos, etc.) is also top notch! An absolute must-buy for both beginners and lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine.
A great cookbook that really delivers what it promises! I’ve already tried many of the recipes and will make them many more times in the future. The printing quality is excellent!
We visited Jordan a few months ago and fell in love with the delicious food. We were all the more delighted to come across this cookbook. The pictures of the dishes are beautiful, colorful and authentic. I’ve already cooked the first dishes. The instructions are really very clear and thanks to the step.by-step pictures, you really can’t go wrong. We’re thrilled.
Fantastic book! Recipes have simple detailed step by step descriptions. Even if you are not that familiar with English, the recipes are easy to understand. Don’t worry about the spices, I was able to buy them all in a normal supermarket. Tastes are great. Also a very nice book to give as a present.
