Foods Of The World Tapas (Foods of the World S.) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Taking readers on a tour of the world's most unusual and exotic cuisines, this series shows the diversity of culinary influences and how these dishes can be easily and authentically created at home. "Tapa" means lid or cover, and the tradition found in bars throughout Spain of serving small snacks with drinks comes from the old custom of serving bite-size food on a plate placed, as a "lid", on top of one's drink. Tapas are easy to cook at home; the more substantial dishes can be used as entrees and appetizers, and the smaller portions served as hors d'oeuvres or snacks. This book presents over a hundred simple tapas recipes in a straightforward way, with a comprehensive glossary giving details of any special food products, their uses, and substitutes which can be readily found.
