This review is from: Tapas Fantasticas: Appetizers With a Spanish Flair (Paperback)

Spanish tapas, or introductory appetizers, are easy to prepare and this cookbook focuses on the simple recipes which don't necessarily require access to seafood, unlike some of the larger, more in-depth Spanish cookbooks on the subject. Enjoy Sherry-Glazed Eggplant, Meatballs in Almond Sherry Sauce, Grilled Swiss Chard and Cheese Packages and many more in an inviting presentation spiced with a few color photos.
