Traditionally served as a bar snack alongside a sherry, beer or wine, 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 prawns) to deliciously simple Tortilla Espaola (Spanish omelette) and Piquillos Rellenos (stuffed peppers) so that you can recreate your favourite tapas dishes at home. A wonderful sharing plate such as the Garlic Olive Oil, Warm Marinated Olives and Jamn Serrano Platter can be created with very little effort what matters is marrying the right flavours. Many of the dishes can be made in advance such as the Gazpacho, Albndigas (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.
