Tapas and Other Spanish Plates to Share

Traditionally served as a bar snack alongside a beer, wine, or sherry, tapas have become a firm fixture on the culinary map thanks to their variety and versatility. They are great shared amongst friends, making them the perfect choice for party

nibbles or as an accompaniment to pre-dinner drinks. You can also serve them as a convivial starter for sharing or cook up several different dishes to make a more substantial lunch or dinner. This book covers all the great classics from perennially popular Patatas Bravas (potatoes in tomato sauce) and Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp) to deliciously simple Tortilla Española (Spanish omelet) and Piquillos Rellenos (stuffed peppers) so that you can recreate your favorite tapas

dishes at home. A wonderful sharing plate such as the Garlic Olive Oil, Warm Marinated Olives, and Jamón Serrano Platter can be created with very little effort ―what matters is marrying the right flavors. Many of the dishes can be made in

advance such as the Gazpacho, Albóndigas (meatballs), Alioli, or marinated fish dishes, leaving you free to enjoy time with your guests rather than being stuck in the kitchen. Tapas contains all of the recipes you need to discover a new way of

eating and entertaining.

• More than 60 recipes to help you make a range of delicious tapas at home.

• Mix and match these mouthwatering recipes ranging from chorizo in red wine to paella tortilla.
