Middle Eastern Style Dinner Party Menu
If you're looking to cook out of your comfort zone this is a great dinner party menu, with a bit of everything. Each dish is great visually, which is ideal for a dinner party. The plates lined up also offer a variety of heavenly flavours and wonderful textures. I was cooking for a group of six and it was well received by everyone, so would recommend. See below for a run through of each dish and link to the full recipes.
