Tapas

Tapas, that indelibly Spanish invention, means "cover" or "lid" and it translates not only into a mouth watering selection of deceptively delicious finger foods, but also transforms the experience of cocktail hour into something far more elegant and far more civilized than a simple tray of cheese and crackers. Now, this new addition to the acclaimed Essential Kitchen Series lets readers import Spain's greatest culinary invention into their own homes, with dozens of great tapas recipes, ranging from simple plates of classic Spanish finger food to a variety of more complex dishes, such as Spanish omelets, shrimp with garlic and stuffed tomatoes. With step-by-step instructions and photographs, these recipes are easy to follow, simple to prepare and suitable for both beginners and experienced cooks.Tapper, Richard is the author of 'Tapas', published 2001 under ISBN 9789625939346 and ISBN 9625939342.
