Book Description
Product Description:
Tapas are an integral part of the Spanish lifestyle - served in bars and cafes the length and breadth of the country. They are many and varied, and range from a simple snack of fried almonds or marinated olives to delicious little
dishes of grilled mussels, roasted vegetables tartlets, or zucchini fritters. Whatever the ingredients, tapas are more an excuse to sit out in the sunshine, meet friends and talk endlessly, than a serious meal. Although tapas are traditionally eaten in
bars and cafes, this comprehensive collection has been put together with the home-cook in mind. The dishes are simple to prepare and easy to serve - many can be made well ahead of time and chilled until ready to eat or heat. There's an informative
introduction about tapas, how to eat them and what to serve, a comprehensive glossary of Spanish terms, and detailed information on authentic ingredients and preparation techniques. Every recipe has been thoroughly tested, each finished dish is
photographed in color, and there are step-by-step photographs of all the important stages, so you can cook with confidence, then sit back, pour out the drinks, and sample the delights of Great Tapas - Spanish-style.
