Tapas: 100 Recipes for Irresistible Appetizers and Snacks [Paperback]

Louise Pickford (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 30, 2000

Small and delicious mouthfuls, morsels to savor: tapas--originally Spanish bite-size delicacies served with bread and sherry--have now become a worldwide sensation. These quick and easy recipes are inspired by ingredients and techniques from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. Some you can devour in a single nibble and work perfectly as hors d'oeuvres; others are more like mini-meals. Pass around the spicy palmiers (with freshly grated parmesan in puff pastry), marinated olives, falafel, and herb fritters. Want something a bit larger? Munch on polenta triangle sandwiches or grilled sweetcorn with flavored butters. For an even more substantial dish, relish Piedmontese peppers, chickpea and chard tortillas, spanakopita (tiny spinach pies), and spicy grilled lamb cutlets. Set out a selection of these treats for a wonderful variety of tastes and textures. Each recipe includes preparation and cooking time, and there are a selection of side sauces, oils, and dips. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11 3/4.
