Book Reviews of Tapas: The Little Dishes of Spain
Book Review: Takes me back to my time in Spain!
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this as a present - it has a wide range of tapas recipes with some photos. I must admit I am yet to make any, but have spent some time trolling the bars of Spain, and they all seem authentic. I have her Paella cookbook, though, which I do cook from, and those make excellent meals.Book Review: Could have been 5 stars
Summary: 4 Stars
The reason this work did not recieve five stars was the lack of detail in giving quanities in a few recipes. I refer to the recipe on page 11 for the first example. Shrimp and Mushrooms in Almond sauce. It calls for 2 slices of onions ..does not give the type..could be white red or yellow...does not give the size of the onion or the width of the slices.On the plus side there are many wonderful recipes and menus.
The spinanch turnovers are superb and two of the pates that I have tried are really worth the price of the book.
Book Review: This is the one?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking for something like this for a long time. All recipe titles are displayed in English and Spanish. Ingredients and directions are displayed in English and converted over to the U.S. standards of measure. This is very helpful. If you have ever tried to convert a full recipe from metric to U.S. you know what trouble that can be. Recipes are very authentic of the Spanish Tapas I have ever had in my short 4 years of living in Madrid. Recipes are easy to follow and to understand. Includes helpful hints to make cooking and clean up a lot easer. For Example: The correct way to turn over a tortilla with out making a mess.Book Review: Delicious! A must!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, with its sensual descriptions of ingredients and menus. Truly a taste of Spain here! I gave a chef/ friend a copy for Christmas; and for New Years' she whipped up a dreamy Tapas party that sent our whole group into the furthest reaches of epicurean bliss. Everything she served came from this book! These recipies are flawless.Book Review: Fantastic.. Superb.. Wonderful.. Easy and Authentic

I have been to Spain with my Girlfriend a few times. She had lived there previously. She has this in HER library. I made a few of these Tapas for her and she loved them. She thought she was back in Madrid and Sevilla. They are very easy to follow, and taste great. I am getting this copy for myself.
