Publisher's Synopsis
The book opens with an illustrated glossary of essential Spanish ingredients from chorizo to sardines to prepare and inspire the first-time home cook. There's a big chapter, naturally, on tapas - those tasty snacks traditionally eaten with sherry and pre-dinner drinks - that are probably the best-loved and well-known of Spanish foods. There are many seafood recipes and piquant vegetable accompaniments, as well as classic desserts, many with a Moorish influence such as crema catalana, that are sure to delight.
