Book Reviews of Tapas: The Little Dishes of Spain
Book Review: Complete and easy to use.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book to do a "tapa party" for the our new years party. I have found the receipes easy to use with good results on the first attempt at dishes. The only complaint is that no recipe gives you a (starting) amount of salt and pepper. Each recipe is a guessing game and if you over salt, your dead. The book should give you a minimum to start with and then adjust as necessary.Book Review: "Tapas" has been a staple in our house for years!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tapas are always a hit with guests. For parties, I usually choose a few tapas that can be make beforehand (ie, the maninated tapas) and then serve a couple of hot tapas that require last-minute preparation. Nothing could be easier! Favorite recipes include garlic shrimp, tortilla, those delicious bite-sized meatballls and marinated shrimp. I enthusiastically recommend this book!Book Review: A treasure trove of tapas from all over Spain
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful introduction to Spain's colourful and exciting "little dishes," this attractive cookbook provides the reader with an extensive range of tapas from many regions. The dishes described are as versatile as they are delicious, and although some are rather time-consuming, most are not complicated. A glossary of ingredients, shopping information, hints on techniques and utensils, tips for throwing your own tapas party, and carefully planned menus for a variety of occasions make this a very useful guide.Also recommended: If you love tapas you will love mazzas, the "little dishes" of the eastern Mediterranean, a stunning selection of which is included in Sonia Uvezian's latest and greatest cookbook, "Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen." This extraordinary volume should be added to every food lover's "must" list!
