Product Description

Product Description

From the authors of the much-loved "1080 Recipes" - the Spanish cooking bible by Simone and Ines Ortega - "The Book of Tapas" presents the collection of definitive recipes for everyone's favourite type of Spanish food. From gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns) to tortilla espanola (Spanish omelette), it combines classic tapas dishes from "1080 Recipes" with brand new recipes from the Ortegas, selected and introduced by renowned Spanish tapas chef Jose Andres.

About the Author

With a career in food writing spanning 50 years, Simone Ortega was the foremost authority on traditional Spanish cooking, and contributed articles and recipes to countless newspapers and magazines. 1080 Recipes, written with her daughter Ines Ortega, was her most famous and bestselling cookbook. Jose Andres grew up in Spain and trained under Ferran Adria at elBulli before moving to the USA, where he was one of the first chefs to introduce tapas to American restaurant-goers. He is now the chef-proprietor of seven acclaimed restaurants in the Washington, D.C. area, and is widely acclaimed as an expert on Spanish food.

This is certainly the most authentic book of Tapas recipes I have seen, and given that some of the ingredients will be difficult to source outside of specialist shops or the internet, the recipes are clear and easy to follow, and the results, so far, surprisingly good!

Although tapas is a way of eating rather than a specific type of food, this book is very good at showing you the typical kinds of tapas you might eat in Spain, and what kind of foods lend themselves to tapas.

I'd say this is the best single book I've found on tapas, plus the Phaidon design means it's a pleasure to read and look at too.
